Ενδιαφέρον άρθρο του Wes Phillips για το θέμα...
2-3 αποσπάσματα για να πάρετε μία ιδέα:

David Smith, a speaker designer who has put in time designing for JBL, KEF, Meridian, McIntosh, Snell, a/d/s, Infinity, and, most recently, PSB, wrote to tell us that he'd left PSB at the end of 2007. Perhaps it would be more accurate to say the job left him: Lenbrook-owned PSB had moved its manufacturing to China and reorganized its engineering staff, moving some positions to its Chinese vendors.

Doctorow points out that while 160 million people moved from farms to the factory cities, even that supply of man-power is not unlimited. Niche products—such as electronic readers or high-end audio components—are competing with games, cell phones, sneakers, toys, and thousands of other popular products for line capacity and human resources.

What's going to happen? Leung thinks China may soon be thought of the way Japan was in the 1980s and '90s: the jewel of Southeast Asian manufacturing. He thinks Vietnam and, inevitably, North Korea will supply the next waves of cheap labor. Jokingly, he suggested that, by then, China and India will be outsourcing their customer service call-centers to the US for economic reasons.

Μόλις γύρισα από Vietnam...(για δουλειά...)
Eίναι λίγο περίεργα τα πράγματα εκεί αλλά δεν έχω καμμία αμφιβολία. Βέβαια υπάρχει μεγάλη τεχνολογική καθυστέρηση σε σχέση με Korea αλλά σε λίγο θα καλούμε Κίνα και θα ακούμε προφορά ...Texas.
