Hello, Maurice All your points are very valid. There is lots of things which could be done better. On the other hand how England became industrial power dominating world? To protect it they even invented "Made in..." to keep out cheap products from Germany. Well, soon Germany took over as their products were better and cheaper. Soon they even implemented workers benefits and rights under the direction of Bismarck which made rest of the world sweat shops compare to them. How else US became industrial superpower if not because they used ALL the time sweat shops and in many fields modern style semi=slaves. Read how D.Trump became rich. Japan is totally other story, wasn't that for pacts (which they still observe) signed after WWII the US would be on the knees long time ago. Every empire starts with low cost labor, big imbalances in wealth but US is even now champion of it. Please don't mention Nobel prizes, because this is the shame in most of the cases. Not longer ago than 90 years free and democratic USA were shooting the people over wages and not only in the back. When it comes to fake in China you cannot say that about their space program. Is not fake too that they buying more cars than Americans or any other country. Oh yes they will have their Oracle, Qualcomms, Microsofts, Boeings faster and better than you can imagine because they not bound like Japanese by the treaties signed at the time when they lost the war and they were not negotiable. China now is more pro free market than any other country. Does it bother you they achieve it without millions being killed during the transformation and opening to the world? They will be soon more free than the bastion of freedom called USA. Marek

BYD makes batteries for the IPhone, and they are working on an electric car... Buffet likes them and bought roughly 10% of the company and looking for more. Also, they (Chinese) will be heavy hitters in solar energy. Stay tuned.

It's fun to dream of being the top dog, but all too often success leads to arrogance, hubris and complacency. We've sure had our share of such things in the USA, so it will be interesting to see how the Chinese handle it. Their attempt to corner the REE/indium markets has certainly raised some eyebrows. Meanwhile, another player is trying the Bunky Hunt gambit... The mystery investor who is turning the tin market on its head A single investor – thought to be a hedge fund – is sitting on thousands of tonnes of tin in warehouses across London. According to traders almost the entire stocks of tin on the London Metals Exchange (LME) was bought up by a single, mysterious investor, last week. telegraph.co.uk

my wife's ex-venture capital advisor/friend, the gentle soul who penned recommendation letter for my daughter's application to her current kindergarten and eventual school has just won the nobel prize for something he did way back when i figure you have no clue of what is on the china table in the way of innovation in waiting and invention hidden away but you will that is the inevitable revelation and inexorable trajectory of the journey towards teotwawki btw, gold, the one and true, is now at 1039-1040, trending towards five digits, tracking true recommendation: getgold and wager on china
