If Jack would be playing with a loaded 9mm Glock you would be afraid for he would not know what he was doing and the danger he was in. This paragraph is like Jack, as in the analogy above, telling he is bullet proof and he also can dodge bullets because he watched in the Cartoon Network. You, as an adult would be freak out. China has only the inclination and the protocol but it lacks the capability, capacity as I out in one of my first postings that it has a fraction of the population that can work in the modern global economy. Now this is my area of expertise, technically and I am an introspective person by own nature. That happened because the western companies picked China as its manufacturing base -as explained previously- to produce at lower costs as man power was much less expensive than in Sweden and Ericsson saw the possibility of entering market with great potential and having a base there could sell to Chinese operators. When a company, any company, pays someone $$$ is because it extracts value from that what is paying. When someone does that very same job for 1/6 is because the guy doing that job adds 1/6 of the value of the guy doing it for $$$. Think value. Do not think cost. and so we (hopefully including you) 'strategically repositioned, and tactically re-calibrated' / essentially retreated to further upmarket and / or developed a new practiceI am a survivor par excellence. In 1993 my boss told me, in Munich, “Come with me to Saudi Arabia to coordinate a team of Filipinos. This what you Koreans Filipinos are doing cheaper. I need someone to manage them.” It was my first sting as a manager. I became the boss naturally because the market pick me to do it. The Chinese perhaps need to be called boss to catch girls as perhaps the girls do not like non bosses. 1995 He told come join me in Indonesia, Microwave planning is being taken from Munich and is now doing locally. I need someone to manage the teams. I went. 1997 I moved to Ericsson for fixed access as Asia was booming and people wanted fixed line while helping people on the nascent mobile. Then to Stockholm to do Busines Intelligence. Etc etc etc Seven years ago I moved to fiber because pays better and has long term contracts and will move to the next whatever the telecom moves to. My Linkedin profile has dozens of articles where I tell where we are going. Have a look: https://www.linkedin.com/in/osvaldo-coelho-6b61425?trk=nav_responsive_tab_profile The mistake you are making is to think that after China Stalinist economy there will be doom. No. There is no doom. There will be China Light. Here is what you should do. An Idea for TJ to profit from CHINA LIGHT. Now you can tell the Chinese: You do not need coal. You need to employ the masses freed from the Stalinist economy into the service economy. Get 5 million surplus workers and make them taxi drivers for Uber China. If successful, they can demobilize even more PLA that costs a lot of money to the economy. Now you enter China with the goal to pen language schools for them to learn English, Spanish etc. They are only Mandarim spoken and only the highly educated speak foreign language and this put the man on the street at disadvantage.
