<p>I see an opportunity for an import hurdle masquerading as a security compliance mark on all Chinese imports.<p>I doubt it will be implemented as there are no western cheap gadget industries left to lobby for it, and the big players would prefer the fud of buy cheap be tracked.</p>

<p>If a gornment changed policy to make houses depreciate like cars, it would not be a government for long.<p>And the car analogy is n9t fitting, unless we talk about cars bundled with the parking spot. But then they would not depreciate that much, and the banger with a parking spot in Manhattan would cost more than the Ferrari that could only park in shitsville.</p>
