Outsourcing Comes Full Circle

China has become a manufacturing hub, most western countries outsource the production of various goods to China. The labor is cheap and the Chinese brand of communism, though very rigid, is pliant enough to shoehorn open market principles to make some extra bucks. However, many Chinese, pandered by the decent lifestyle that the manufacturing boom has given them, are fast realizing that they are not cut out for drudge labor after all. So the labor wages are rising and that means the Chinese themselves are looking to outsource certain work originally outsourced to them by the Western countries. So, don't be surprised if some of the poisoned toys were actually not made in China - blame the Vietnamese. Talking of toys, there are some impressive swing sets here.
