Agree. Very difficult for Euro & U.S. small businesses to pass the cost of higher wages, complicated taxes strategies, Obamacare, and regulation administration through higher prices to consumers. Today large international companies with close relationships in Asia, teams of lobbyists, and tax lawyers have advantages

I suspect Asia is like the wild west for international businesses - few regulations, lower wages, corruptible politicians. The current leadership Euro & U.S. have been focusing on the wrong issues for too long now. You'e fired!

Asia is a bit wild, sort of. The US FTC anti-bribery laws have put US companies at a disadvantage compared to those not under such tight controls. (Russians, and smaller countries not in the EU). Pay to play...or go to the back of the line and wait your turn for less lucrative deals.
