GE Moves 115-Year-Old X-Ray Unit's Base to China to Tap Growth (Obama selling the USA)
Sadhill News ^ | September 13, 2011 | Staff

Just days ago ,a href="http://sadhillnews.com/2011/07/12/bankrupt-bailed-out-government-owned-tax-free-overseas-job-outsourcing-ge-tells-american-business-owners-stop-complaining-about-big-government">(bankrupt, bailed-out, government-owned, tax-free, overseas-job-outsourcing GE ) CEO Jeffery Immelt scolded American business owners, ‘The people in this room have got to stop complaining about government!‘, and, (‘The truth is), we all need to be part of the solution‘,

(GE-sponsored) Obama warning us (There Is Going To Be A Tug-Of-War Within The United States Between Those Who See Globalization As A Threat And Those Who Accept’ It") and then Obama calling on GE’s chief Jeffrey Immelt to (head his economic recovery advisory panel) while Obama made ‘special arrangements’ for the upcoming ($53 billion in taxpayer funds) used to subsidize GE’s construction of a ( high-speed rail system.)

And put aside your self-centered, conspiracy-like questions regarding the hundreds of billions in American taxpayer dollars used to keep the hemorrhaging Obama–GE Titanic afloat. It’s simply a matter of ‘foreign’ economics, something you wouldn’t understand.

General Electric Moving Health Care Headquarters To Beijing

(GE X-ray leaders move to China)

General Electric Co.’s health care unit, the world’s biggest maker of medical imaging machines, is moving the headquarters of its 115-year-old X-ray business to Beijing.

“A handful’’ of top managers will move to the Chinese capital and there won’t be any job cuts, said Anne LeGrand, general manager of X-ray for GE Healthcare. The headquarters will move from Wisconsin amid a broader plan to invest about $2 billion across China, including opening six (customer innovation’) and development centers.

Back in the day, a lot of people critized Pat Buchannan, Ross Perot and others for being dead set against the big sell out. Now this is all but unstoppable.

Moving to China to tap cheap labor, or did China require that GE move to receive market access?

Ross Perot was right on so many issues...

But many here laffed at thos of us who voted for him

Bush 1 was caving in to democraps at every turn- overturning the legacy he inheritted from Reagan.

Clinton was out of the question...

Perot was not the best answer bu he was better than the other 2 AND.. because Perot scared the crap out of everyone with the size of his vote WE GOT A REPUBLICAN CONGRESS for the firt time in 40 years

So... Regan got us Bush... who betrayed his legacy. Bush got us Perot running as a third party. Perot got Clinton elected.... but clinton scared the bejeebers out of everyone so bad he GOT US A REPUBLICAN CONGRESS and A BALANCED BUDGET (thanks in no small part to Newt Gingrich)

This just makes me sick. I wonder if anyone over at GE knows where their blueprints and drawings are?

Shhhhh. I have a ton of them left in my files. They are our oldest customer, although we don't get much work from them any more. That's OK because they don't pay their bills very promptly either. I can't afford to carry them for 190 days. They left all their drawings here because they didn't want to store them. They promised to supply a file cabinet for them (a large flat file) but they didn't come through on that either.

I have to be more careful reading headlines. It seemed to me that - why are they moving the base to a 115YO x-ray machine to China?

Focused like a laser beam on jobs (for China and/or labour unions).

GE healthcare stands to win a good deal of government healthcare business (including the creation of "a database for the healthcare records of everyone on the globe."

It's far less subject to American-style accountability way over there.

Then Newt imploded giving us Hastert who teamed up with Frist and George W. Bush to double the national debt and accelerate the decline of US manufacturing.

We forget that free trade to the founders did not mean opening our markets wide to the world while the world played by other rules. In fact the founders used high tariffs both to fund the federal government and protect US industry during its infant years. To the founders free trade meant any America could trade with any country. If Britain and France were at war, America would be free to trade with both. It had nothing at all to do with tariffs. It is only the current generation of globalists who believe free trade means America ends tariffs and opens its market while its trading partners manipulate currencies, levy tariffs on US products and put in place all sorts of non-tariff barriers and regulations to keep US goods out.

God I am so sick of all this nonstop scummery. Did any of us ever imagine how horrible and relentless it would be, even knowing as much as we knew of the treasonous bum himself from the beginning?

No it’s all about margin. Xray is much more commoditized. The growth is all in rural china and India so the relocation results in lower shipping and labor allowing competition with local suppliers who have older political connections. Things have gone downhill across the board since immelt took over. End of welch stock was at about 45-50/share sitting at 15-16 now. I can’t understand why stock holders are putting up with the anti-capitalist boob.

Yes, it's about cheap labor which contributes more to "margin" than anything else when a firm can move to a cheap labor nation and cut their total labor cost to 10% and even 5%, or less, of what it was in the US.

And this move will be a continuation of the: take the US market for granted and seek growth in emerging markets strategy.

Its not Obama, its the Democrat party and it started with Clinton selling China our nuclear secrets and stripping Japan of our trade agreements. Obama is a clueless tool who does what Nancy tells him to.
