		<description><![CDATA[Charles

one reason you saw HK/ Taiwanese firms cry first after the new labor law was the fact that they have traditionally been some of the most un-compliant around.  It is greed, and what I keep going back to is how companies knowingly enter an industry they know they cannot make money in without exploiting large amounts of people..

Japan?

		<description><![CDATA[Every time I see a multinational complaining about rising labour costs I see greed more than a real desire to get out of China. Of course that isn&#039;t always the case but it was in this clip for me.

I also come from a country of ugly teeth Rich. That would be a tighter connection i guess ;)]]></description>

Gotta make the connection somehow I guess.

Dan, in the clip the mentioned the rising salaries and the labor law as a reason to look for expansion into other markets.  Like I said, it was something that kind of hit me funny.  Perhaps it made no difference at all, but through my conversations with other large corporations who were past compliance of this labor law, the impact was not that great so as to discuss moving.

I will delve into this a bit more once I have thought it through a bit more.]]></description>
