I think this is a no s*** logic.
We gotta find other countries that can produce as much cheap crap as they do and try to buy it from other sellers as well.
Never look down on the power of cheap crap. That's where Korea started and look at the stuff they're churning out now. Same goes to Taiwan as well except less so because they haven't been able to have a group of really powerful international level companies to really spearhead a major breakthrough. Wonder why that is. Taiwan's got some excellent medium-big companies but no global brand yet.
