Thats quite interesting. i think any company wanting to do well in the US has to have a manufacturing facility there. Reports out of China are that wages are having to go up and then when you add shipping cost's and the higher cost of steel then the lower cost of China might not be such a advantage in five to ten years time. What i think you will see is more Chines companies like Sany having US assembly plants and they might look at strengthening there service network to really compete. To be competitive in a market you need a presence there.
