Who is to blame then - US companies who put production there to maximize profits, or the Chinese for taking that opportunity to get their country into the high tech era?
The US has exploited China for cheap labor for decades now. And they expected that to continue forever. Its old ways of thinking from the guys who were in the cold war, and the Chinese realized this is a giant opportunity to build up their entire country to be an economic power that will dominate the world. They have more than one billion people.
Like I said, one country is intelligent, the other one not.
