The Yellow Peril Is Us: Multinationals Start Exporting Cars From China

+1000.

Yeah... good luck with that. Globalization happened, I'm not sure you got the message yet.

Hmmm...you may have to add the following: I will never watch TV, ride a bike, toast a piece of bread, vacuum my house, brew my coffee, listen to the radio/CD/I-Pod, use a phone, computer, buy half the clothes and shoes I wear, own a clock or watch, microwave to re-heat my dollar-menu meal I just walked home with, repair anything that requires tools. I wish it were that easy, but welcome to Globalization!

That was typed on a Made in China computer, I'm sure .....

GM (and the rest of the multinats) book the 'profits' on their P&Ls, but don't actually repatriate the yuan... So that 'argument' is hardly valid. These unredeemed profits fool the fools who don't understand how to read a 10Q. Just another way to exploit the undereducated mittelklassse in the US. Enron never fooled anyone with an IQ over 130 as it was all in the filings. I refer to the Chinese Communist Government as Chicomms because, well, they are. While the closest thing to definitive/actual "communism" in the last hundred years has been Cuba, please give and example of how democratic the PRC is. Please. Grossly perverted capitalism like the USSR (but smarter) you betcha. Sure, more accurately the Chinese are "police-state-oppressor-capitalist-overlords" or some such, but the fact of The Party, is, well, The Party. Enjoying what little freedom we have remaining in the West? Hardly... Please show the multinat that has pulled over $100MM USD equivalent in cash out of China on a moment's notice like you can in the US. Just one example please. Let alone real money in the 500MM to 1B+ range. Let alone 10B+. Common knowledge that BoC will make it nearly impossible for you to do so. No, pulling chumpchange 1-10MM USD doesn't matter and they don't care. It's good for the show. Move some REAL money and you have an argument, but no matter how hard I try to find an example, there just isn't one. Do you watch BskyB/Fox/Murdoch product? Because it seems you have their lines and silly ploys rather well memorized... Just curious...

While you were busy bashing some foreign nation for its communist policies, er lack of free speech, their "communist" industries have been expanding and gobbling your lunch. Yet for the past 3 decades, the supposedly accountable and democratic United States has had corporate led deindustrialization and the consequent marginalization of much of its former middle class. Where was the accountability in the supposedly democratic United States? Did the evil Commie Chinese plant Manchurian Candidates to somehow spur the US corporate and political elite to abandon its constituents? Why do you bother harping on a foreign nation that actually is improving its living standards? Go read some political economy textbooks. Right now your posts are just reflective of the emotionally charged talk radio/tea bagger hotheads. But like a lot of Americans, you'll continue to focus your ire on a convenient yet incorrect target. Your corporate overlords and their political minions are laughing as they continue to profit from their investments in China, yet you're off on a tangent. Go ahead and send a rebuttal. The managers at GM and their Cayman Island bankers are thankful for mindsets like yours.

Google is a wonderful invention. It will always tell you what you want to hear.

Want to hear that the world is flat? No problem. Google will tell you the world is flat.

Want to hear that Porschespeed is dangerous? Voila. Google obliges with some 600,000 hits.

PS: Google links inserted in downtown Beijing.

atlas_snored, Obviously you have never actually bother to read (or perhaps comprehend) my posts. I have always laid the blame squarely where it belongs: the enemy is us. (By 'us' I do mean the 1% who has manipulated the US gov into writing legislation to favor offshoring industries and jobs to the Third World...) Short term greed is never good. Bertel Actually googling "porschespeed is dangerous" will yield a whole 362 results. Were one to use the goog 'search instead of porschespeed is dangerous' with the resultant "porsche speed is dangerous" would yield your result numbers. But just like Palin, those facts are, umm, incongruent with reality. 'Natch, who let's facts get in the way of a good story.

Unfortunately I've read one too many of your barely comprehensible posts. Cool it with the Cold War propaganda. Non stop vilification of supposed Commies and their limits on free speech. You spew it so much, you're probably amongst the dwindling numbers of Americans who conflate our theoretical "freedoms" with some exceptionalist superiority. Dude, if they were true Commies, they wouldn't be crushing our plutocratic and hypermilitarist crony economy, but you don't get that. Or maybe you do, but do an awesome job of keeping quiet. You don't even realize the US backed VERY similar authoritarian but economically progressive regimes in South Korea and Taiwan. You sound just like the Congressmen who ape the tough on Commies line, yet simultaneously sponsoring bills allowing the gutting of the industrial base and the non prosecution of sophisticated tax accounting/tax dodging schemes. Doesn't matter though, you'll come back with the same schtick. If bashing foreigners works as a deflection for politicians, I suppose it should work for you too.

Atlas_snored, Obviously you can't comprehend what I have written since day one- for the last 30 years we have given away the US economy to the Chinese for the benefit of the (very) few here in the US. If my posts are 'barely intelligible' to you, I pity your level of education. There are plenty of post-doc Fellows that will tell you exactly as I have. Guess it's that O'reilly/Hannity "elitism" that prevents your comprehension of the obvious... Bertel is at least prudent enough to shy away/ignore anti-Chinese posts based on fact. Please, do bring it. I love a cogent debate. (Sadly, you don't have one yet...)

Maybe the fact that you're constantly referring to commies or google censorship or 'freedom' like the astroturfed teabagging idiots is an indicator of your questionable understanding? That's basically your whole point, you never saw anything else. You can pity me, but you haven't actually written a substantive rebuttal. Instead of blaming the foreigners who are actually improving their economy, you should focus on the various oligarchs who have gutted ours from within. Won't happen though. Hopping on the xenophobia train (e.g. your incessant comments about the out-group's nefarious nature) is just a great deflection tool. I'm not sure if your posts are motivated by OCD or whatever, but unless you diverge from the tautological, there's no point to responding to further responding to you.
