""It is a brand-new form of capitalism, and as a consumer its the best thing that ever happened," Gates told an informal meeting late Friday at the World Economic Forum in this ski resort.

He characterised the Chinese model in terms of "willingness to work hard and not having quite the same medical overhead or legal overhead."

Or the same governmental or environmental regulations, Bill. The model is the same as the dawn of industrial America. You know, the one before safety regulations in the mines and garment district.

The difference is this, Bill. If the Chinese workers strike and riot for better conditions, the government will kill them and no questions will be asked.

Ah yes Bill. You extol exactly what the CCP leaders love, the weakness of capitalism (as they perceive them). Whores will do anything for money and capitalists will do anything for markets.

He is right about the Chinese leaders being smart, they are playing the EU,US and WTO like a violin.
