Agreed, there is no way we can compete with a worker in china who is satisfied eating a handful ofrice everyday. But, is that really the case?
I believe that China's economy is mostly doing well(or at least was until the buble popped).
I think as it grows it will cahnge to an economy more like ours. The days of the unions in china are coming - unless opressed by their government. When people over there get fed up with a handful of rice, what will happen?
The current issue is the desparity in the standard of living between them and us. This has caused companies to outsource as you pointed out. Once again, the company was more interested in profit than its employees.
I also agree taht too much regulation will stifle the growth of a company. But, these laws didn't just come in on the shirtails of the greedy. They were made by neccessity.
When a companies only concern is profit, their only concern will be profit. They will put aside the welfare of their employees, the environment, and everything else in pursuit of the almighty dollar.
So the question, how do you reach a balance? Well, I am not that smart to be able to figure taht one out.
