: Sell TO China??

Yes, Brad, TO China. You recognize the game and the opponent and you adjust your strategy accordingly. You want access to that huge market and they have some quirky rules... you make the stuff there for their use. You make profits and get yourself into a market that you otherwise had no ability to access.

Kinda like baseball when the other guy is all about curveballs and all you want to hit are fastballs. You either make the adjustment, or you find a place on the bench. Right now, there are literally hundreds of American companies who have made that very adjustment and they are banging sales from the Asian region that would boggle the mind.

Is it as comfy as sitting back in Sandusky and watching the needle drop... no, but it is a business in which you have experience and it is a thriving marketplace. This is a global trade environment and those who get global get with the program.
