China Part 2 (The money game 经济炸弹)
Hooray for the holidays!! ( I'm trying to get in the holiday spirit.) Sale's on everything, I just read the best deal of the day. A laptop for less than $300.00 at Fry's Electronics. I remember when they cost over $3000.00. We will spend our time thinking of others (hopefully) as others (China) spends their time thinking of US (hope you get the pun). This is not China bashing as for 75% of the things I own are produced there (the other 25% are in my fridge and gas tank). I could bore you with their currency manipulation, or unfair trade practices or their worldwide oil grab; but lets not talk about the obvious. Lets not talk about the ability to have the creature comforts available to us for pennies on the dollar. It's the U.S. vs the E.U. vs Russia; 'play them against each other'. China will buy 160 jets from Airbus for $14.8 billion and Boeing gets $0. The PRC will spend $11.9 billion with the French company Areva to build two advanced nuclear plants; while U.S. engineers at G.E. get tainted dog food, toxic toothpaste and lead toys for their tots. Yes the U.S. and Russia will get their turn to sell; with China planning to build as many as 33 nuclear plants by 2020 and soon to be the second largest airline market in the world (America's #1), Boeing will eventually sell a 777 or two.
They (China) have what is guaranteed in a global economy. When competition is abound; But at the consumer level we (individuals) have none. It's all made (most of it anyway) in China. It is a tool (cheap imports) that has eroded our economy. 'Drag them down, make them slaves to the very things they desire. Give them so much that a generation forgets how to produce and labor for themselves'. Please take the time to explore the hyper-text links to get a macro view of the economic bomb that's being unleashed. America we need our manufacturing back; new and improved since the USD is at a low its time to make the fine, quality products that were accustomed too and SELL! SELL! SELL!
