I think people predicted NAFTA would result in a lot of jobs going to Mexico and some certainly did but why did so many go to China?

Good question. I don't know.

Labor so cheap that even with tariffs companies still profit perhaps? I'm assuming there are tariffs on goods imported from there.

you don't remember the 'bubba' years - and the tons of campaign money he got - illegally?

You don't think they gave it for nothing, do you ?

BTW - the wind turbines are all made in China - and shipped over here. That helps our economy and jobs, doesn't it...

Mexican workers - $5/hour.

Chinese workers - $5/day.
