    In that era, someone else in the telecoms business would have gone to China for production to compete with Nortel.

    Results likely wouldn’t have been all that different.

        Can you explain? I’m not really good at catching the subtleties of language through text.

        IMO the commenter is not at all close to getting it because the Canadian firm would have patented their innovation and produced it in a country that has the kind of IP laws they expect, so their innovation would have reaped a great reward instead of getting copied and put them out of business.

          Em adespotom here is implying that the company had to go to China to complete with other Canadian companies in the same business and that China is somehow to blame for this.

          But the thing is, if the conditions of the CANADIAN market force Canadian companies to go to China to be competitive, then it’s not really China’s fault now is it?!
