Yes, and we will probably let that happen to the US, in the name of free markets and free trade. Someday we'll look up, and wonder what happened to all the professional jobs in the US - and what became of the so called "knowledge industries..." In about 50 years, our children's children can drive the taxis and make the beds for the rich Chinese and Indian tech leaders that come to our little backwater for entertainment and food.. A quaint holiday out with the natives.. >> China and India should work together to dominate the world's tech industry, bringing together Chinese hardware with Indian software, China's prime minister said Sunday. On a visit to India's southern technology hub of Bangalore, Premier Wen Jiabao said the two nations should put aside their historic rivalries for the venture and welcome a new "Asian century." "Cooperation is just like two pagodas (temples), one hardware and one software," Wen said. "Combined, we can take the leadership position in the world," he said. "When the particular day comes, it will signify the coming of the Asian century of the IT industry," he said in an address to information technology professionals in Bangalore. India has gained global repute as a hub of software professionals while China is strong on computer hardware. Both countries' cheap and plentiful labor has undercut the tech industry in America and other Western countries through outsourcing. Wen appealed to Indian software companies to set up operations in China to tap the Chinese and global markets. He later met scientists and visited the research facilities at the headquarters of the Indian Space Research Organization in Bangalore.

That was an amazing article, Katt *** Thanks for posting it. That is why we are losing long-term, and why I care. Americans would sell their sister out for another 100K. We focus on a "War on Terror", and attacking Iraq, spending 300-400B to do so, and alienating the world, while China and India, and most other countries are looking down the road 20-50 years, to see how they can dominate. If someone outside did to the US, what is being done now by our leaders to US long-term, it would mean a state of war. When will we wake up though?
