They could ramp up TS's production, that might do the trick. {sm4}, Robin.

China growth has been slowing down for at least 6 months or longer... Inflating prices is a terrible thing even in Toy Soldiers...!!! {eek3}

Mate if those wages are high and the cause of these price increases then the Chinese worker is entitled to it as they are pants. Imagine what they were getting in the ''good old days'' Chinese sweatshops were not called that for nothing.

Manufacturers always whine about high costs its the norm as anything that impinges on profit is a huge problem. There are other things that have added to this I would venture along with these pathetic wage increases which really are a pittance really. new manufacturers, people changing from brands for cheaper or better products (in their opinions)

constant price rises are a dangerous game in a market where the products are non essential suppose you can only stretch the band so much before it completely snaps!
