Automation is a wonderful thing. The PRC knows it, too, Eric!!

Ford Motor was told that they could build a plant in PRC, and they were ALSO told that PRC would own ALL the technology in that plant at the end of five years.

Duh.

The technology you are talking about is ordinary factory technology -- nothing endangering national security.

You have to ask yourself why would a company like Ford agree to such an arrangement? Give away a plant after 5 years????

Either Ford is anti-American and wants to prop up the Chinese or there are issues in our country that drives Ford overseas.
