BS. Harley is blocked by PRC regs, and when PRC put on a "show" of changing its regs, suddenly, the cities in PRC had regs restricting Harley sales. (I'm in Milwaukee metro--and I've followed this closely.)
As to the Big Three: they made a BIG SHOW of telling us that PRC would allow them to import 250,000 cars from US to PRC in 2004.
250,000. Wow. US market is 18 million cars/trucks.
Yeah. Toothpaste and soap will redound to the HUGE benefit of US workers....
