>I suppose that you watch SONY as me. Japanies are the best in production of TV. every part of the world have some comparative advantage and will gain from it.

Jordan,

I doubt that Sony is immune from off-shore manufacturing.
I do know for sure that the Japanese have manufacturing plants in China and Singapore, to name two.
Some Sony speakers that came with a 8 month old Sony PC are made in China. The PC itself says "Made in Japan" and who knows where the internals come from!?!?

cheers
