"Shipping costs are a bitch" that explains why Japanese autos never made any cars in Japan and no it does not cost 1500 dollars to ship it
. FYI Toyota has higher profit margin on its camry's built in Japan than here. I do not think you know much about cars or economy for that matter 
and are trying to sugar coat the fact that some how magically you can make up for china's far lower labor costs.

If they signed a non-compete, then they will have to move or find something else to do.
Have you been to China? Or Japan? Or Korea?
These countries DO NOT believe in free markets in any shape or form. They are mercantilist nations through and through and they practice economic warfare on their trade rivals. The very visible and heavy hand of the state directs all economic decisions. These countries have huge corporations, like Toyota, Sony, Hyundai, Samsung, COSCO Shipping and Petro China that are all in bed with their governments more so than any American corporation.
Did you know that Hyundai makes refrigerators and laptop computers and a million other consumer products? They make everything for the Korean market because they keep the Japanese and the Chinese out of Korea.
Try buying a Japanese car in Korea. It's nearly impossible and ridiculously expensive because of trade barriers. Japan is about a 40 minute boat ride from Korea but Sony, Toyota and Honda ship virtually nothing there because they are not allowed to.
How is it that a car manufactured in Korea and shipped here is cheaper to purchase in LA than in Seoul? Does that make any economic sense? Koreans fly to LA and purchase Korean cars manufactured in Korea. Then they ship them home because it's cheaper than buying a Korean-made car in their own country!
American citizens are not allowed to buy land in Korea or own businesses. Even if you surrender your American citizenship and take Korean citizenship (which like three Americans have done in the last 500 years), you are still not allowed to run for public office. You will never be considered a Korean and will always be a foreigner because you do not have Korean blood running through your veins.
And in Japan, third generation Koreans who are the descendants of slave laborers brought to Japan during the imperial period are not even granted citizenship to this day, even though they can't speak a word of Korean.
And the Chinese are more nationalistic than the Koreans and the Japanese. The Chinese believe the world has been turned upside down and history has been perverted because their former vassal states are now richer than they are. The Chinese are on a single-minded mission to correct this historical anomaly and return to their natural place as the Middle Kingdom in command of Asia.
China is buying companies in the United States in order to dismantle them, fire our workers and transfer the technology back to China. It's happening here in California right before our eyes. But any America who points out the obvious is some kind of heretic.
We are in a trade war and we are losing badly. We are losing all that has been built in over 200 years of our economic development -- built by patriots who believed in liberty and the pursuit of happiness and felt that Americans as a people had common economic interests.
All the Asian countries see themselves as distinct peoples with common economic interests -- not as global citizens on Tom Friedman's flat earth. The Asian countries all use import barriers, currency devaluation, intellectual theft, subsidies and shameless bribery in order to gain economic advantage and capture markets for their exports. They are playing a zero sum game in the United States while protecting their own home markets. That is how they built their economies. We have surrendered industry after industry to them. Now we are surrendering our greatest industry of all -- our automobile industry -- and every country in the world is looking on in amazement and disbelief and licking their chops to devour their piece of the quickly disappearing American pie. All these countries are fighting their economic battles not on their home turf, but on ours -- with the American worker and middle class being the biggest loser of all.
And OUR LEADERS DO NOT CARE. Our leaders are globalists who have sold us out economically for geo-political reasons. They want American troops in Asia and in Germany and have made a bargain to keep them there -- our jobs and living standards for American military bases on their land.
If you believe the Chinese believe in free trade and practice it, well, I don't know what to say. Maybe you believe prison labor is economic liberty, and prison sentences for bloggers is all well and good, and government censoring of the Internet is freedom, and charging the families of prisoners for the bullet used to execute them is fiscal responsibility.
Visit China. Visit Japan. Visit Korea. The people there are educated and many speak English and most are better versed in economics than the average American. They are all about economics because they know what it is to be hungry and poor and to have millions upon millions of people competing against them for a crappy subsistence wage job and a few grains of rice. They are not from an open land of abundance, but are from a crowded, polluted and poor part of the world lacking in everything from iron ore to farmland to clean drinking water. Talk to them, and you will soon learn that their version of economics is actually economic warfare based on nationalism and the defeat of ancient rivals. Kowtowing and hierarchies are how business is done. Family relationships trump efficiency and fairness every time. Nepotism and crony capitalism are the way their world works.
If we want to preserve our liberty, independence, economic freedom and prosperity, the first place a patriot would start would be with a massive tariff wall. This is what Thomas Jefferson did. He put up a tariff wall and eliminated domestic taxes. The economy boomed and the American standard of living became the highest the world had ever seen. People had so much money that they bought more imported goods than ever before, and the government had plenty of revenue -- paid for by foreigners who willingly paid tariffs for the privilege of making a profit here.
The Asians know this history. That is why they protect their home markets from foreign competition in order to build up their own industries and develop a skilled workforce.
Unfortunately, since FDR the CFR "free trade" globalist propaganda has become so thick and pervasive that you even find it on a Ron Paul message board.
You can even hear people saying that China practices free trade.
