#3 Story was about Gerbil 500 companies. They are moving pieces around on the chess board but if you believe they are giving up on china, you don't get slave labor at all.

Slave labor can't be employed directly. Even Foxconn won't use slave labor. That segment falls within the purview of Chinese subcontractors. Turning a blind eye comes easier when someone else houses and feeds the slaves. Get a complaint? Switch subcontractors. No severance required.

The problem with China is theft of intellectual property. Outside of literal slave labor, Chinese salaries exceed maquiladora levels. Land prices are in the stratosphere, thanks to its massive property bubble. Previously lax regulatory enforcement against foreign operations is now almost vengeful, as if the Chinese are settling long-held grievances on their backs, even while their Chinese competition gets a free ride. Bottom line is that China welcomes foreign investment, but the grift gets into gear as soon as the investment is complete. If they are long-term thinkers, the Chinese definition is in the ballpark of a year.

#8 The exec's at these companies are like stockbrokers.
They get salary and bonuses to move the pieces around on the board, and it's irrelevant whether the companies make any money.
