Domestic manufacturers blame their troubles primarily on the gap between U.S. and foreign wages. In the U.S., wages and benefits for shoe workers average $2.75 an hour, compared with $1 in Italy, 560 in Spain, 580 in Japan and 480 in Taiwan. Labor is indeed a prime cost factor in an industry that has never been able to mechanize to any great extent. But price is not the only reason that the imports do so well.

...trouble with a two-China solution is, of course, that both Peking and Taipei bitterly denounce even the slightest suggestion of it. To skirt the problem, James Thomson has evolved a solution that he describes as "a step into ambiguity." If successful, it would temporarily shelve the Taiwan issue in its present form. Thomson advocates a tacit mutual acknowledgment of Peking's residual sovereignty over Taiwan, along with a similar acknowledgment of Taiwan's full autonomy. Such a vague status could be preserved until Chinese on both sides of the Taiwan Straits could attempt to defuse the issue...
