We should aim our exports at the USA because it is the biggest market of good quality products at a large mark up. Other cheaper goods can be produced for the lower rung markets which may not give us any large profits but will give us large orders to pay our workers a decent minimum salary. We will then not be seen as an exploitative employers but as makers of very good products at low prices.

我们的出口应该瞄准美国，美国是高质量产品的最大市场。我们可以为低端市场生产其他更便宜的产品，这可能不会给我们带来高额利润，但会给我们带来大量订单，赚到的钱也够支付工人的工资。这样，我们就不会被视为剥削成性的雇主，反而会被视为以低价生产优质产品的制造商。
