Every competition is actually a scheme, depending on from which side you are looking at it.

So you are "above" being an American, eh? This is pablum straight out of the liberal school of moral relevancy...equating the US as no better than ANY OTHER country. And the "Arsenal of Democracy" is just a convenient fiction for jingoistic rubes, eh?

Rather arrogant claim of "neutrality". Just like all the importers who have their actual paychecks paid by Americans. Not the foreigners who they ship from.

Yes, they are involved in a "side"...but just not the American side, eh?

If the French has a scheme I am sure even Boeing has one.

Oh, like they are equivalent?

And I am sure Boeing has similar schemes against its other competitors in collusion with other governments.

And you wouldn't see EADS/Airbus as the driving force causing that? Their corruption of the "competition" is in isolation, and has no adverse consequences?

I am neither American nor a liberal. I am a foreigner in US. You are just assuming too much about me or what I am trying to say. I was only arguing the economics of “outsourcing”. You mixed it up with politics, which is only agreeable as concerning China.

Honestly I am not sure what you are trying to say. That rhetoric has little to do with the topic we are discussing.

“And you wouldn’t see EADS/Airbus as the driving force causing that? Their corruption of the “competition” is in isolation, and has no adverse consequences?”

I don't yet know of a company that only knows how to play fair. If you think only EADS/Airbus can be corrupt what would you say about an American company like Enron?
