[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] I remember in the 1980s reading that the manufacturing cost of an imported Liz Claiborne garment was 1/7th of the retail price. I also watched the migration of Coach purses to straight out made in China status. There's no news here. Except the extreme amount of dependency we have on China.[/quote] Haha, I don’t think that people buying “luxury” brands equates to “dependency.” These are not items that are necessary to life and most Americans fully understand that. “Nice to have is one thing,” but very little is “need to have.” [/quote] PP. I just meant in general. Like across whole categories like shoes and on to non-clothing items. There are lots of merchandise categories that are dominated by China. By dependency, I meant more "good luck if you want to buy X not from China" than "you can't live without". I was thinking about lightbulbs the other day. What would we do if we were cut off from China trade?[/quote]
