Then there is Uniqlo, with annual sales of about $10 billion. That $10 billion, not chunk change, placing them 4th place in worldwide apparel specialty stores, after NDITEX(ZARA), Hennes & Mauritz and Gap and ahead of Limited Brands, NEXT, Esprit, Liz Claiborne and Abercrombie & Fitch. And they did it with cheap Japanese wages. Ooops, got that one wrong too. It looks like > [@](#): > > Factories > > Ninety percent of UNIQLO products are manufactured in China. We have business dealings with approximately 70 companies, most of which are located in China. Because we view the factories that we deal with as long-term partners, we continue to offer positive technical support while insisting on very thorough quality management. That is why we are able to maintain high quality even on mass produced items of 1 million units. Uniqlo has started off as a strictly Japanese company, then off shored its manufacturing, and grew from a tiny brand to a 10 billion dollar company with more than 700 stores in Japan and more worldwide. Created jobs and made a shitload of money. So, bitch away and stay in your pretend universe where everyone gets screwed by working with the Chinese. ---

Let me translate this long-winded screed for the normal folks: Some people drive drunk and make it home without killing someone. Ergo, anyone who says drunk driving is dangerous is an idiot!!! ---
