We pay for the R&D and they take it for free. Everything that we have that we teach them how to build they will then build cheaper (outside and away from the US company that paid to hire and train them) and then they can price our companies out of business.

You're always training POSSIBLE competitors regardless of where you source your services/products. In fact, Id be more worried about 'training' the competition down the street than from across the globe cuz the guys down the street have easier access to my customers.
