Detroit began losing it's foothold because it didn't give people what they wanted, high quality cars that fell within their specific budget. It's still going on.

Hopefully we will not be myopic like Detroit. I'd like to see those Chinese factory workers live in this country making 50 cents to a dollar per painting.

I'd worry about US based portrait artists or agents having the paintings produced in China and claiming otherwise.
