I shudder at the thought of how many Chinese Enrons and Worldcoms there must be. Thieves are also liars.
I have a lot of problems feeling any sympathy for US companies who have their technology stolen by China after they have moved their plants there. I say its poetic justice and to bring back the jobs to the US.
Isn't it funny how the whole rationale for Nixon was access to the China market. And what has actually happenned is that China gained access to the America market.
The only problem is that these companies are exporting technology the Chinese can't produce because of their backward totalitarian sytem; and we give them military advantages they don't have the social evolution to handle.
The question is, why is America letting China import cars in here. This will destroy GM, Ford and Chrysler.
I wouldn't allow one Chinese car in here.
The Chinese Govt. are Lying Godless atheistic Murderers!
This is typical Business in China..Sucker American and other Companies to come into China under some fraudulant
Business deal, and then steal the technology and produce the items in a totaly Communist owned Factory using slave lobor and undercutting the competition. I am Laughing at the Stupid leaders of General Motors for being so gullible
to think these Godless Athiests have any Moral fiber. They are Devoid of Truth and Contracts are meaningless.
WAKE UP!!!! WAKE UP!!!! America..The Chinese Communist Govt. is waging Economic War with Us. Stop buying their Cheap crap that is flooding our stores!!!! it is everywhere
or havent you noticed? Boycott China! STOP sending our money to a Godless Murdering Govt. You are only killing your jobs here!
Yes --- the Chinese aren't stealing the technology, they're being handed it on a silver platter, along with a whole lot else. When the greedy American companies go belly up --- so what? They didn't provide Americans any jobs --- why should anyone care?
How is it...
"sleep with dogs and you'll end up with flees" ?
Chinese Chery - is that the Chinese version of Cherorlets?
The similarity of design of the two vehicles is "purely coincidental" you understand. Similar problems (producing a motor car) produce similar solutions. In fact, there is a situation where a Japanese manufacturer (Mazda) builds vehicles that very much resemble those of an American manufacturer (Ford). Again, just sheer coincidence.
Well since Ford has a huge stake in Mazda(40 per cent I think), they share technologies....just like Ford has an arrangement with KIA as well!

I'm more concerned about the technology than the jobs. It's easy to make more jobs. Technology requires a little luck.
American CEOs send US technology and trade secrets to China. Short term, they get cheaper suppliers, thus boosting profits (and CEO stock option value). Long term, the Chinese steal the trade secrets and the company suffers
But, guess what? CEO's, on average, are with a company for less than 5 years before moving on. By the time the bad stuff happens, they've already pocketed their money and are elsewhere, or retired
The China gambit is a scheme by CEOs to loot their own companies, and America's future
Yes --- it's amazing ---we turn over our economy -- the best part -- the manufacturing over to a Communist dictatorship and we think they're going to be nice and fair. Why would they be? They don't believe in things like Capitalism, freedom, competition. Communism doesn't lead to inventiveness --- what else would we think they were going to do?
I am concerned about jobs too.
My point is that US companies have to learn (=get burned) before the outsourcing trend can possibly change....
The two go hand in hand. Out of work American engineers will find other work to do --- many are working in other fields now, some have become Walmart greeters but while they're doing those other jobs, they don't have time to develop technology.
Agreed. We would be far better off if we had left China to be a third world country. All we did was create a future threat both economically and militarily.
That's really all I need to know about GLOBALIZATION. The Free Traitors need to realize that this makes our nation less secure.
Westinghouse nuclear plant design OK'd (for China, not U.S.A.)
They are also sending research and development.
