COMMENT Allow me to share with you a Blindspot moment here: not many may have taken note that in 2014, 29.1 percent of our total imports were in the form of electrical and electronic (E&E) products. The same year, 35.7 percent of our total exports were also E&E products. What is actually going on here?

Well, simply put, our economy is kind of hollow.

We import cheap components from China, assemble it locally and export the finished products.
