Discussion of Moving Production Outside of China

[Arwen]

I think this discussion has gone a bit off the rails.

Please resume practical aspects of multi-sourcing, instead of political, cultural or other reasons.

For example, practical aspects of multi-sourcing:

• Is that if weather were to delay manufacturing or shipments from one location, another location may be un-affected.
  
• Same can apply with local holidays affecting one location and not another.
  

Further, if a discussion were to involve moving to another location that was able to produce the items:

• Faster, or
  
• Cheaper, or
  
• More reliable, or
  
• Reduced shipping delays
  

This aspect of the discussion would be okay.
