If you think that M$ is the only tech company kissing China's ass, you're smoking crack. Apple, Intel, IBM, etc are all in their puckering up for Hu's booty.

If you think that M$ is the only tech company kissing China's ass, you're smoking crack. Apple, Intel, IBM, etc are all in their puckering up for Hu's booty.

Here are some quotes from Bill Gates, enthusiastically praising China's Communist dictatorship -

"They're smart. They have this mericratic way of picking people for these government posts where you rotate into the university and really think about state allocation of resources and the welfare of the country and then you rotate back into some bureaucratic position."

"This generation of leaders is so smart, so capable, from the top down, particularly from the top down."

"It is a brand-new form of capitalism, and as a consumer its the best thing that ever happened."

"Scale economies that are just phenomenal."

"Well I could say that every time I go to China I am amazed by the level of energy and activity there. And you know its like super charged capitalism where they're creating new jobs and they are being very efficient. And you know that's daunting. It's a challenge to the rest of the world that we got this great opportunity that they're going to build good products, but we all have to become more efficient to work at that level as well."

"As their people are more college educated and creating inexpensive products. That's just a great thing for our consumers. It does mean that the companies here need to think about selling to China. About how they work with partners there. And measuring their efficiency against the best in the world which in my business will be the leaders in China."

Can you provide any quotes from Samuel Palmisano, Paul Otellini or Steve Jobs to backup your assertions?
