Competition too hard because it depends on defending patents and Intellectual Property with nail and claw. (See MQ QCOM vs. Nokia). Any high tech product a couple years after its inception is sold by the kilo. A GPS was 13 years ago a piece of high tech. Today even a baby trolley can be equipped with one. I am hearing this for over 20 years: Let’s do R&D, sales and Marketing and the niggers out there toil to make the stuff. It is not turning that way. The guys out there and running away with the salaries, holidays, homes, kid’s education of the guys who used to make the stuff. Brazil goes to the laboratories and tell them: This is the price we are going to pay for the AIDS drug. Either you accept or we clone it. Lab asks: why should we accept prices impose by you? Brazil retorts: Because you are selling this anti-AIDS drug in Thailand for the price we want to pay. The labs look to that big market and accept the price the buyer is willing to pay. This is bargaining power of someone who's got a huge market.

Only they win a little and we win alot. That is the model going forward. Haha, how does this wonderful fact, or more of conjecture, of yours goes with US DoT's trade tallies? Do you mean it cooks the book on this one, tooooo? Something is not right there!

Little win for 2.5 billion people is a BIG win. The business model is: export to each of one of those tiny wins and we can make gazillion selling them soy beans, beef and chicken. Even if they eat just a little more protein every week it amounts to billions in exports. Raising cows, chickens and planting food cannot be outsourced, They've got to come buy from us. The guys who make big wins also coming that points to us in the cat bird seat, importing the stuff that we can't make profitably and everybody is happy.
