Well, that is the gamble you have, there has been a lot of problems with imported Chinese goods, talks of sabotage and the like, plus problems with internal Chinese goods, the baby food scandal of not long ago comes to mind.
However, what it boils down to, going back to Mr John Smith. If he doesn't have a job, then when his Japanese alarm clock conks out, will he buy a cheap Japanese or Chinese clock, or a more expensive one from somewhere in the EU or the US?
