Not really "news". It's called corporatism. It's been around for ages.
Toyota wants to sell cars in the US of A, they build plants here
Sig and Beretta want to sell pistols in this country, they build plants here.
GM wants that HUGE market in China's booming economy, they build plants there. if that Chinese market brings them more profit at the expense of their US market, oh well. That's their corporate responsibility.
There's no morals involved, no patriotism, no ties necessarily to the home country.
Remember Rollerball, the first movie? Six corporations, no nations. Like 1984, meant to be entertainment of sorts..........turning into prophesy it seems.
