More to the point, everyone plays by the same rules. As the rules are currently, some things are just cheaper from China than they are here. If that changes (via Tarif etc) then you will see companies coming back or new companies forming to meet the market demands because they do what's best for their bottom line. And you don't have to make the Tarif higher than it would cost to buy the item locally, just setting it to a point where both are fairly even. It's much more convenient to get your merchandise from down the road than it is from overseas.
I can't answer why the Valade family does it because I'm not sure who the Valade family is (elaborate please what type of business are they in?).
How about we just hold him to the same standard he held others to during the election? He condemned other businesses for doing the same damn thing he does. But, somehow he is immune to his own criticism of others for doing the same thing which provoked his criticism?
