Answer:E. Hiring locally is much less expensive than training and transporting expatriate employees

Explanation:

The cost and efforts involved in hiring expatriate are in different dimensions, there is the language barrier, foreign exchange salary payment, rellocation expenses, etc all this when compared with training and hiring nationals makes it more economical to hire national.

The above scenario does not imply the national must be able to work in United States, nor that the United States has most challenging destination for expatriate assignment, nor that the Chinese workers are more experience or work harder and are better motivated than United States workers.
