One way American businesses ended up in China, Vietnam, Thailand. [View all]

I heard this secondhand. Posting so you know that the moves didn't necessarily originate in the Board Rooms of corporations. There was enticement.

My friend is a music teacher. A former student in The Netherlands was working for an American business venture.

And the former student approached my friend, maybe 20 years ago. Offered him a lucrative position to approach American businesses, corporations, etc. to relocate to the Far East. Show them the projections of profit and loss. Offer to pay them to move and to resettle. The former student claimed that his business was booming, and he'd be very pleased to get my friend on board.

My friend politely turned him down, but he was also dismayed by the ethics of bribing American businesses to leavethis country.
