In the 15-minute Audio Interview, Mr. Harris, Mr. Aguilar, and Ms. Maldonado discuss these questions:

• Dan, I understand you will be talking about the “leaving China” part of the moving manufacturing from China to Mexico equation. What is there to say about this? I mean, isn’t this the easy part? What more does someone have to do beyond telling their current China manufacturers or employees that they are leaving?
• How though can you prevent those things?
• Adrian, what business and legal services do international companies wanting to move manufacturing to Mexico usually require?
• Adrian, how different are they from the services usually offered in China to international companies?
• Adrian, is it possible to use shell companies to move manufacturing to Mexico? How are they different from the concept of shelter manufacturing?
• Alejandra, what are the top main reasons to invest in Mexico with a shelter partner?
• Alejandra, is the shelter model made for companies from specific industries or sizes?
