I sympathize , as I too am hurt by cheap slave labour manufactured imports at under my material costs.
However this situation was not unforseen and has been going on for years
To survive , you have to adapt and change your business model. A lot of cos that go under in the face of this have ostrich mentality.
We have adopted a new strategy and that is to offer better quality to niche markets and do more lower quanity jobs as well as being far more innovative in terms of concept and design.
Better still we are trying to beat them at their own game by working smarter and quicker and increasing productivity. The flood of cheap imports can either be a spur to get your own act in order or a stake thru the heart. I think it depends on management as to which it is.
