[quote=patb][quote=flu]Guys. This isn’t nearly as messed up as a few of my friends who own very profitable businesses are doing..

They are selling high end products to high end consumers in china.

So these friends basically import then goods FROM CHINA to the U.S and then send it right back to china to sell.

Go figure.[/quote]

because the chinese have lousy internal distribution[/quote]

Well actually, it’s because some of the goods are only destined for U.S. and cannot be purchased directly from internal consumers.
