The overweening conceit of the American businessman never ceases to amaze. "I built this company and not the greedy workers so I am re-locating it to China." (Except that he is not re-locating himself there.)

Yep.. The facts are that he did the math and decided that he either needed to manufacturer some products in China or go bankrupt when OTHERS did it first. OR -- he could of invested in INCREASE AUTOMATION which would have lowered his labor costs and still shed jobs..
Business has no obligation to commit suicide for the public good.
I resent that trend as much as you do. My clients are just now suffering for that decision to export jobs.
It's short-sighted because NOW -- the Chinese don't even need THEM!!
The only way to be patriotic and STAY would be to give up the BULK of your market and specialized in only quality, hi-end versions..
The rest of your attempt to indict is a rant unless you recognize exactly what choice was made.
