I think they'll swing back again. China keeps raising their prices. If we can just get the cost of oil high enough, the shipping charges will kill the products too.
If we mirrored their trade laws it would swing back really quick! I'm all for free trade but it needs to be fair trade.
A couple of years ago I bought a new flag-made in the USA-with a metal pole. A week later the pole was completely rusted... I did buy a new one a couple of months ago at Home Depot and the label says "Proudly Made in the USA!". But, like you said, the flag was made here but the pole, etc., are imported. Yeesh.
