WalMart's having problems (i.e. losses) because their sales of clothing is way down...and their Chinese manufacturers have been left holding the bag (to turn a phrase). There have been some articles in the Wall Street Journal about WalMart's decrease in sales and their manufacturers in China. The Chinese manufacturers are looking for other places to sell the inventory that was slated for WalMart. Sorta breaks your heart, doesn't it? Not so much...IMHO.
