At the moment we're sending ur jobs East. We need a Government that says to China and the others, buy more hi-tech from us or we won't buy from you.
Not EU Governments that allow Airbus to open factories in China. If they can move East, what's to stop Mercedes, BMW? Whoops, to late look under the bonnet of your car.

What you just described has already happened in the US twenty+ years ago. America used to be a manufacturing powerhouse but now all those jobs went to China, india and Mexico. I honestly do not know what all those semi-skilled factory workers went and did after they lost their jobs...not into high tech.
It's a giant fucking MESS is all I can really say. Knowing where the line is, between semi-slave labor/wages and a decent middle class income, seems to be the challenge.
