When will American auto industry will admit that no one in the world are interested in buying American cars that are design for the American market. When Japan finally lower tariffs for auto import to a point that foreign imports are cheaper than Japanese cars, the Japanese only import European cars. In UK Lamborghini out sells Cadillacs. Yet when the US car company design and manufacture for the local market they are successful, Ford in Europe, Buick in China, Ford in Australia, etc. The point is that if they are not design for the local market, most likely the car will not succeed. What is consider good in the US does not mean it is consider good in other countries. The foreign brands develop cars specifically for the US market.

When China is not importing items like aircraft from Boeing they are buying from Airbus, China only just test flighted their own first passenger plane which is still years from actual productions. All those mining equipments, high tech equipments and manufacturing tools are brought from Germany because they are consider better engineered. But they do buy a lot from Caterpillar. Another big problem is that US is not willing to sell a lot of things to China, yet these products seems to be sold to terrorist sponsoring countries and to dictators.

"United States, which advocates democracy and freedom", haha, our country talks about it but at the same time support all these dictators that steal from their own countries.

"Chinese currency manipulations that keep American products expensive and Chinese products inexpensive" The RMB will have to probably be traded more than USD1 to RMB1 to true, beside most of what China export did not cause US manufacturing jobs, most was lost to Japan, Korea, Hong Kong, Taiwan and the Philippines decades ago. China is really taking the manufacturing jobs from these countries. Also people must realize that while China has a huge surplus against the US, China runs a deficit with almost all its trading partners except for Western Europe and US and the actual total trade surplus globally in total is much lower. It is just that the finish goods are manufacture in China because of its vast infrastructure and assembly capability. China does not even come close to India in causing American job loss in the area of high-tech and call center business. Beside most of the imports to China are made by Taiwanese, Japanese, Korean and (yes) American factories in China. Chinese own companies is only just getting started.

Us companies also has to realize that they can not be selling products in China at the same retail prices in China because majority of its people can not afford it. Only less than one percent of Chinese people can really afford foreign goods.

China has its problems but so does the United States. US has to realize that the two economy are very much tied together and are inter-dependent on each other. Each has their own strengths and weaknesses. They have to work together to maintain a stable world economy. US can not just keep blaming their problems on other countries and not recognize their own problems. Starting a trade war would be the worst thing for both countries but probably will affect US more as the rest of the world will take the opportunity to take US market shares away. US has to treat China as an equal partner because both economic and military threats against China is useless. US also has to forget about the "Communist government" label, communism is dead. While China is getting more and more capitalistic, US is becoming more and more socialist.]]> Mon, 02 Feb 2009 11:54:20 -0500
