Shenzhen is Like Living in a City-Sized TechShop
This really worries me as an American.  We're losing the entire culture of hands on production.  Fry's and Maker Faire is great, but it's a drop in the bucket compared to this sort of thriving community.<p>I think the US needs its own Free Trade Zone.  Let's put it on the US / Mexico border, allow anyone to take up work there.  Promise 0% taxes for a decade and put up no trade barriers at all.  Maybe that would bring some of this production back home.
