I have heard that making a trip to China to purchase myriad of products that you would buy here (that are already from China) can save you a bundle.

Then Asia, particularly China and finally the US will follow suit.

We we still out produce China per capita even when they work 12 hours a day 6 days a week.....just sayingThanks,Matt

An even easier thing to do if you want to really cut costs would be to buy your paper from a paper maker in China.

Maybe it helps to share a perspective from China: Many of our clients choose LA as a place to move to or send their kids to school.  

Most investors probably haven't heard the old term a "china egg" you work with it, answer all the angles, hope it will lead to a good meal and you crack it open and there is nothing there!

Then, when they ask what you bought it for, I ask "how does that effect the price of beans in China?"

I have in Hong Kong, China supporting and carrying out house flipping and house hacking with contractors and with partners, worked exceptionally well and are familiar the process !

Mom and Dad think they are parking their money there, they are not familiar with paying taxes on property, never get the notice, can't be found when they are deep in China or Mongolia or wherever, paid cash for the property and then lose it at the tax sale.  

If we pay back those unfriendly lenders (i presume you mean china), with inflated dollars it would effectively reduce our debt burden.
