I'm not sure the "let's build it in China" route would have worked out well here. If you're building something that's just like what lots of other people are building, you can probably outsource it to somewhere that's already building something like that for other people. If you're building something that's not, then putting the manufacturing on the other side of the planet in a different company's hands, is suicide.

Exactly, if the company is not able to convert its designs to product right here, how will they do that same thing but thousands of miles away in China?
