The answer is simple: Boycott or tax chinese goods.

Followed by massive inflation as the price of consumer goods rises, and
unemployment as retail staff get laid off.

Forget the recovery of the British manufacturing sector - we don't have
the skills and the labour costs are too high.

Thats why we tax the oil and subsidise teh labour.

What skills? Chinese assembly skills are nothing special at all.


Production would probably move to somewhere like Romania - and their
pollution is rather closer to us than China's. At least with China we
only suffer the indirect effects.


Could be no bad thing anyway.
