Textile manufacturing returns to Carolinas – by way of China

INDIAN LAND, S.C. — Next spring, spinning wheels will hum again in Lancaster County, S.C.

Keer, a textile company headquartered two hours southwest of Shanghai, China, is building yarn manufacturing lines in Indian Land, about 6 miles south of Ballantyne, bringing more than 500 jobs.

The Carolinas were once the epicenter of the U.S. textile industry, but since the late 1990s, thousands of jobs were lost when emerging markets joined the game, touting cheaper materials and labor. Carolinas textile jobs went to China, Brazil and Vietnam, among other places.

Now, in an ironic turn of events, Chinese companies are looking to manufacture in the U.S., lured by lower costs of energy, cotton and land, and wary of rising labor costs in China.

Wally Wang, deputy general manager at Keer America, believes more Chinese textile companies and other manufacturers will follow Keer to the U.S.

I'm sorry but this is hilarious. The RWers there are probably to stupid to figure out how they have been screwed.

U.S. citizens paid no income tax. The government was paid for with tariffs. This is what gave rise to most all of our 19th century industry.
