Makes sense

There are broader perspectives at play here than the short-term financial. If Foxconn has a plant in the USA then the USA workers will develop and build the skills to compete with the Chinese giant at the inevitable point China loses its price advantage.

Generations ago the west was frankly retarded in its mission to hand out its innovations in return for some cheap labour allowing developing economies to compete on new features. If we like it or not they may not return the favour if the situation becomes reversed so it's basic BCM to ensure that you incentivise at pretty much any cost so there is at least parity of opportunity.
