      This directly relates to site factors because in Shanghai, the land is limited and expensive due to it being a dense urban region. It is cheaper for businesses to establish factories in rural and suburban areas with proximity to junctions and highways. Also, businesses prefer to build horizontally, therefore needing more land area.

      I am surprised that the U.S. workforce had to be reassured that businesses wouldn't relocate all of their industries to China.

      Can we expect the same trend to occur in other less developed countries that currently possess key site factors, such as India, in the future?

      This connects to Kelly Gallick's current event on the survival of U.S. manufacturing as businesses compete with low-cost labor in LDCs. This statement portrays that keeping industries in the U.S. and not outsourcing to China would be beneficial. The manufacturing costs would be the same, while the U.S. provides proximity to markets, which reduces transportation costs.

      Though rapidly declining, the profit that can be made with outsourcing to other countries with a cheaper labor force can prove to be beneficial to businesses. How much longer until businesses see the shift from profit to loss with outsourcing.

      Outsourcing links to the geography theme of globalization, for it increase involvement with transnational industries and corporations. In addition, outsourcing causes businesses to become known in the region where products are being manufactured, initiating a closer-linked globe. Globalization promotes the cooperation with other countries to become successful in the world markets.

    It's interesting to read that manufacturing costs in China have risen, which could potentially cut back on the amount of outsourcing from the US.

    I like that you chose an article about industry in china because of its profound amount of industry, and its BRICS status.

    This relates to the article we read in class and I remember it saying that the government supports the increase in wages. Its interesting to see your comment on how companies who outsource will react.

    This surprises me since it seems that there is such a push to continue to outsource. I wonder what the US will do: will we continue to outsource, or will more domestic jobs be created?

    Wow, there's some very politically-incorrect commentary if you scroll down the article... "Blacks have MUCH more to fear from other blacks than from white people. So,what are white people supposed to feel guilty about? Minorities get a better break from us than they do their own." - Bob Troxell "White privilege, just another reason to explain away failure to our children." - Books "Many blacks in this country don't [work hard and get their kids educated] and that is what keeps them in the ghettos." - Jello5 Obviously I disagree with all of these. I don't think there's very much prejudice at all in Mechanicsburg, but it's definitely present in many other parts of the U.S.

    Why do some cities have "ghettos"? Read this article and find out how redlining and block-busting are part of the reason.
