The rumours seem solid, but R&D will stay at the Sendai facility according to the same rumours.
The Japanese industry is now in the same situation as the western world was in the 60-s and 70-s when the Japanese underbid everyone else.

Thailand better than China, machines lathes, mills, made in Thailand are a better made.
So may not be a bad thing.
