All that’s left now is to force the Chinese company to turn over its intellectual property!
#WINNING
And that CNN is called..WINNING!
Perfect remark just perfect.
this must’ve hurt cnn to write and post this story...
If the company has any ties to the Chinese government or the Communist Party of China the company should not be allowed to have any presence in the U.S. domestic economic space.
Why?
"Those jobs are gone and they're never coming back."
It’s okay. If they go south, we just nationalize it and continue on the operations.
Winning...
It is a win but they’re just skirting the rules.
American workers spending their hard earned money in America, paying US taxes. That’s winning!!
Yes, that’s very true I just wish it was an American company whose profits would stay in America. Can’t have everything, I know. :)
It is mere pretense that China is a “free market” economy; it isn’t. The myriad ways in which supposed “private” companies are actually in majority ownership, or control of either the some unit of the Chinese government, the Chinese communist party, or one or more top officials of either the government or the party are more than westerners can imagine, and cloaked in deceit.
China is a state-capitalist national mercantilist economy and it’s “success” is a success of that model. It is not in U.S. interest that that model be supported within the domestic economic sphere.
It is bad enough already that western companies are now being told they must help the government establish party cadres within the Chinese working for them, and the next phase will be accepting “guidance” from those cadres.
While we never should have opened World Trade Organization membership to China, we nevertheless should not be supporting the operation of China’s state-capitalist economic model within the U.S. domestic economic sphere.
Last week, my sister cited the proposed Chinese solar panel tax in a long anti-Trump rant. Said it would cost thousands of jobs and suck billions out of the economy.
Now let’s see if they can do it while obeying all our regulations...
I’ve been looking for a new washing machine but it has to be as user-friendly as my old washer. It has to be a toploader and easy to reach into and I don’t want to stand on a step-stool to do it. All the toploaders I’ve seen are a bottomless pit. And they take twice as long to cycle through as the old one.
The only 2 remaining solar panel factories are both foreign owned. And now a china company will move in.
Manufacturing is highly automated and only about 14% of solar jobs are in manufacturing while installation is labor intensive so 86% of the jobs are in installing.
Because the price of panels will be going up, many solar jobs will no longer pencil out and many will cancel, causing an estimate net job loss of 26,000 the first year.
None of this will help these companies compete on the world market. They won't be able to compete in Canada, Mexico, or North Africa.
Why not a front loader?
Why?
Build in the US to dump them in the US
