You apparently lost your own reseasoning after reading one-side 
story, which can be very true in some sense.

Tell you one thing you should always keep in your mind: Western 
countries are always tring to dump out-of-date to the developing 
countries, at the same time that they move chemical plants to
these countries! US is very tough in exporting Hi-Tech products 
to China, including computers. They dumped a lot of 70s computers 
to China in late 80s, but in CHEAP PRICES.

The production lines from Japan and Germany are almost exclusively
10-20 years those in the same two coutries. The Cheng2Tao4She4Bei4
( whole installments) are usually those out-of-date and/or need-
to-change stuffs in these countries. 

Do you expect that first class products are imported to China?

What is the bussiness for? All parts get somethings they need.
That's all.

Wake up! You have to accept the reality.
