Textiles and Globalization
I was reading an article last week about how textiles and the clothing industry was affecting the relations between Latin America, China and the United States. Currently, quotas for imports into the US on clothing made in China exists, but Chinese business owners are finding loop holes by selling raw material to Latin American businesses who finish the garment, and then send it off to the US. Should the origin of the clothes then be attributed to Latin America or China? Do other students think this could eventually lead to a big problem for the US if the practice spread to other industries? This article was published in the Wall Street Journal.
