These are powerful observations.....and yet, for the Chinese to overcome these observations, China companies and capital must disconnect from the momentum that puts them in the position in the first place, oligarchic inertia. They must seek alliances, within the US that are entreprenurial in nature with the willingness and creativity to bust through the inertia of entrenched USA systemics.. Folks willing to break the stranglehold of inertia which overlays the US economy....are the solution providers to the basic criticisms. Seek out those persons expressing a willingness for degrees of freedom for performance, and partner by way of realization with those that are similarly (USA) handicapped internally, that China inc is being handicapped by, externally. Get away from the old brands by creating your own, utilize some of the hard won learning of the Japanese and Koreans....many powerful examples exist....you use Capital, to build share, creating jobs through alliances, that go straight to the hearts of the matter, lead follow or get out of the way. If you get this you get a gold star.

i may have mentioned we had a very excelllent korean supermarket open literally within walking distance... fresh fish, kimchi etc etc etc etc etc... and now three blocks away, a chinese outfit from california has opened an even bigger place with live fish in tanks, conch, and the whole thing. they are going to go to war. went to the korean place while the other place did grand opening.. and the koreans had pristine fresh mini salmon whole, but cleaned, head on, (eyes nice and bright) for 1.28 usd per pound!!!!!! we're doing washington state mussels tonite meuniere, but will do the salamon tomorrow. some god is being very kind this weekend. and i am happy about both inflaion and deflation, and above all, stagflation in the grand unveiling of the post bubble world.

You are looking at a classic old school colonialist / view. I don't think the proposed action on raw material makes ANY sense in that view, since China is a net importer of most of the items. So I am back to WTF ? Why is this proposal about these commodities instead of rare earths ? It is like someone took the situation in rare earths, and and applied it to coke and aluminum. **** Much of the world's interaction with China has been different than the classic colonialist actions. I don't think China embraced business enterprise to benefit external powers. Compare with the large investments to make (and now design) products in China for sale to China and East Asia. Autos are a major example. Also note extensive FDI for complete end products being shipped from China. >>>There is a full range of industries in Greater China, with some controlling 90% of the supply chain from farmer to retailer, and many doing only pieces. A few other notes - (i) That should be _downstream_ margins (ii) The cap and trade advocates want to screw (effectively tax) everybody in the world, not just China. There is lots of opposition to this rip off world wide. No reason for China to feel special. Not reason to get shafted either, just because other countries are being ripped off.
