China is developing industry and supporting infrastructure at an incredible (read: alarming) rate. While many goods are of the expected poor quality, they now have the capability to produce some quality products, thanks to the “partnered” technology shares. They are building power plants with gigawatt capacity, fueled by - yes, our coal. Coal that is too dirty to burn here. China simply does not care about anything but progress at any cost. They use our technology companies like a cheap call girl - pay them until they get what they want, and dump them on the dark street corner. We have a local steel producer who had the corner on the world market for electrical steel - years ago sold out to foreign producers who “just wanted to see how it was done.” They have since sold twice. The American corporate “get rich quick” scheme is actually selling us into poverty. And, China has a virtually unlimited source of manpower - one that works more by force than free will, and thus is at a cost far below anything we can offer. If you can assemble the pieces of this economic puzzle, you can see where this is all heading.
