If one does it, they all will have to in order to be competetive. It's the wave of the future. Interesting to look how age demographics will soon be affecting the employment scene too. One wonders what the combined effect of the two will be over the next couple of years.

We are all supposed to be so generous to other countries. At least this way we get productivity in return for our investment and those countries get much need wealth.

It's pretty clearly a choice between a win-win or a lose-lose scenario. What's so difficult about this?
