Would someone please explain how the Chi-coms, whose only experience had been great leaps upon the backs of tens of millions of Chinese killing them, could suddenly explode into a roaring free market-oriented economy? Yes, I know Deng had a plan.

There's no way they could have done it mostly in the 1990's and later without the free tradin' transfer of technology, wealth (FDI), and production.

I think the way was opened for the Chi-coms in the afternoon of Jan. 20th, 1993, about tea time, in a big house on Pennsylvania Ave.

It seems everyone thinks of corporate personnel just doing that economic thing, fact is New Democrat Third Way "progressives" are behind globalization -- with their "rules" -- and corporations were invited along. Lenin didn't call 'em useful idiots for nothing. Deng thanks you. The PLA thanks you. The princelings thank you. . . .

Well these guys are underestimated - especially in this thread.

There's an inhumane regime that's true - but there's a lot of exile Chinese people that stick together like rice.
Their ancestors invented the compass, black powder and the nowadays Chinese are famous for their instincts in business around the world.

Who build Hongkong ? It's the trade hub of the southern hemisphere.

It's a bunch of people we have to have on the agenda and we have to deal with them. Especially the regimes sometimes exaggerated cruel attitude to people and the gigantic environmental issues their economic supernova is giving birth to.

If you had a look on who graduates from Harvard today and how many of these graduates are going back to their home country you will see the answer on who's going to develop high-tech in the future (and present).

Young US folks that really have the brains will nowadays most likely be a banker or lawyer. If you hold you head into research labs e.g. syngenta crop science in san diego - you will see a good 40% of the people celebrating new year on another day. Not many of them will stay forever.

China is not going to be a No1. they already are - if you don't look on where they are but which direction they are going.

"I think the way was opened for the Chi-coms in the afternoon of Jan. 20th, 1993, about tea time, in a big house on Pennsylvania Ave."

Kerry has plans for China too.

How to tech transfers:

In Nov. 2001, the Bush administration imposed one of the largest civil penalties ever in an export-control case over a 5-axis machine sent to China. The Commerce Department fined McDonnell Douglas Corp. $2.1 million for selling China aerospace equipment that wound up inside a military jet fighter manufacturing plant.

The fine ended a six-year investigation into McDonnell Douglas, which deceived the government and broke federal export-control laws when it sold an array of sophisticated machining tools to China in 1994.

It is amazing how many people can't see this.
