@EEC story: i would gave thought that with the USA-Chinese Trade spat there are definitely some opportunities for other countries in the region to get some business our of it, for example if the chinese relocate production. but thailand is moving far too slow here. if thailand does not wake up soon here the investment may go to other countries, for example vietnam or the phillipines and indonesia.
So far this EEC thingie has been quite a disappointment…
