Both the Chinese and German offerings seem to mainly be impacted by price not availability. That is caused by currency fluctuations and internal pricing in China in particular where wages are rising by double digit annual rates. China is no longer lower cost than USA by a significant margin after freight and taxation and currency.

If the current political trends here continue it may flip to USA being similar or lower cost after consideration of taxes.

If regulations are relaxed we will regain our lead.

Exemptions not regulations.
