40. 1/2 - 1 Billion??

The company is NOT building a manufacturing plant in the U.S. In case you read wrong, they will be leasing buildings like Panasonic and Hynix did in Vancouver and Eugene. Assembly plants are their goal. This just means they don't have to assemble them in China to save on shipping costs. The shipping costs are probably, if not definitely, higher than what it costs to exploit their labor back in China for the same job, thus cheaper to use American labor. Win/win for China, Win/Lose for US.
