   Hello Richard!

   That is most certainly the case. But in light of China's lack     
   of human rights, and slave-like labour in factories, WHY are     
   companies continuing to do business with China.   
      
   Much of the quality of books out of China looks pretty good.      
   I'll give them that (unless the inks and dyes are poisonous).   
      
   Meanwhile I'll posit that there is a lot of greed in the     
   publishing industry too - so the bottom line is to maximize     
   profits at any cost.
