michael...."china respect us patents"

the goal of the prc is not as it appears, third world is a relative term!
...it's not about free trade, commerce, or establishing an infrastructure to lift the citizenry from third world status to the twenty first century. the prc is no different then the old ussr and eastern bloc countries, they have no monies, they require financing, in essence, they "want something for nothing"
in 1997 the ccp(chinese communist party) formally codified the "16-character policy"...which comprises of:
"combine the military and civil"
"combine peace and war"
"give priority to military products"
"let the civil support the military"
this 1997 policy reaffirmed and codified deng xiaoping's 1978 pronouncement, that military development is the object of general economic modernization, and the ccp's main aim for the civilian economy is to support the building of modern military weapons and support the aims of the pla(peoples liberation army)

commerce be it with wto status or not is very difficult with a sovereign nation that holds such a contra ideology to the "free world" way of doing business.

to analyze a market, demographics alone are not applicable, in the case of the prc, trade is more political then commercial. most companies will line up to do business, as they are blinded by the population....remember the "door" has been opened to the prc for thirty years....not many have walked through and exited with "fuller pockets"

just consider past actions/positions that the prc has taken
in security council matters in the united nations....
