I guess the point I was trying to make is that if TLG moved production to China, they would be spending more resources on combating theft of intellectual property than what they are currently used to.

If LEGO {does} move to china, Lego must make sure the workers are verifiably well treated & paid AND the facility is a safe, healthy place for them to work. Kinda like 'transparency' in operations.
