punkalouver gives a brilliant description of the success of 20th Century capitalism, so strongly promoted by the USA. As with all nations and people around the globe, they like the idea of reducing costs and producing more product and money. But, when they find their own areas of interest affected by outsourcing ... to coin a phrase, "They don't like it up 'em, Mr Mainwaring."

I am not unsympathetic but they are just observing life on it's usual circuit around the wheel. Just as we are with this financial crash and this recession following all the previous ones. At some point, it will become financially viable to have aerospace production 'clusters' in the West once again - but that might not be for another 50 or 75 years. Quite apart from the effects of (various) financial crises, will be the development of China's aerospace industry.
