I am apprehensive about doing business in China. Long-time readers of this column know that while I maintain an attitude of "making things where it most makes sense," I have warned against wholesale moving business operations to China and selling product with no regard for that product's end use.
Chinese companies have a notorious record of abusing intellectual property rights and have forged products originally owned by companies like New Balance, Yamaha and others. The Chinese government has a spotty record enforcing the laws against such theft.
