And after 5 years, China will have copied Ford's designs perfectly, undercutting the price by 35%, and will have no need for thir services.

Then the existing factory will be converted into a anti-US satellite missile factory when they take Taiwan, and nuke The West Coast using our technology.

At this rate, they'll have no "Carbon Dioxide Credits" to sell the EU Kyoto-heads.

This story highlights the fatal flaw in so-called "free trade."

Americans could benefit if China imported Ford automobiles built in the United States.

The way it's supposed to work is China sells us things and we sell them things. The problem is they won't buy American-made stuff. American businesses are required to teach them all of the technology, build the plants and train their employees how to manufacture the products.

My question is very simple. After every company in America has taught the Chinese how to build every American product, why would anyone need to buy anything built in America?

I cannot see why the Chinese dictatorship would then continue to share profit with the American businesses who handed them all the technology and infrastructure. What are American businesses going to do if China's government tells them to get out and never come back?

This is the same country that has threatened to nuke cities in the United States. We will be at war with these people in the future and they will use our technology to kill us.

One little bit of history that is often ignored should be retold every now and then.

During WWII many of the trucks ferrying German troops around were made by GM and Ford in Germany. These same companies had secret deals with the Nazis to make sure that their assets were protected during the war.

It is not hard to imagine that when the war with China comes, and it will come, as sure as the sun will rise tomorrow. The Chinese will use tanks and trucks and planes built in American factories built by GM, Ford and Boeing.

It seems to me that we never learn.
