You cannot just pack the blue print and give to the guys to make it

In fact, this is quite the cottage industry, springing up all over town in shanghai, complete with burly expats from the u.s., germany etc... many of which are fluent in the likes of shanghainese... which astonishes even older generation, let alone pretty girls serving tea.

Furthermore, there are likely more than 200 biotechnology companies in china at present. Albeit, manufacture of plastic crap used in the medical industry may indeed qualify as "biotech"..... The fact that there are no fewer than 3 companies working on the development of oral insulin, should indeed astonish. Both for the brass tacks that it takes to tread over ground well trodden by the best and the brightest in the world, as well as for the simple fact that these endeavors are flush with cash, acquired from every creative financing network that one can imagine.

In addition, one only needs to realize that soon we will all be flying to China in jets made by Boeing with parts made in China. This fact in and of itself, you must learn to sit well with as you read trade mags in the friendly skies. For the pot metal has been used up in cheesy lamps, and not as part of the ailerons.

Examining how we arrived at this condition, is not only instructive, but enlightening. If one wishes to feed the chinese, one cannot come without a fishing pole, bait hooks etc. Otherwise, they don't seem to be very hungry. ;-)
