Er...automotve industry...Japan anyone?
Forty years ago (and well into the 90s) people were making a very similar argument about the likes of Honda, Nissan and Toyota and about cars, trucks and motorcycles.

As someone who lives close to Coventry in the UK which once upon a time had several hundred 'high end' car, motorcycle and bycycle manufacturers (and now has naff all) and as a small software company owner I'd hate to see history repeat itself in this respect.

Face it; they have a massive staff and overhead advantage, less employment legislation and are a dam site more hungrier than your average Western IT company (and it's staff).

Time to recognize we cannot compete on price and focus on quality and high-end innovative niche markets...and relentless R&D and innovation! Don't fight them - partner with them.
