I hear that the automobile in China with lots and lots of status is, are you ready for this? A Buick! No kidding!
Why Third World dictators, Imams, and leftists hate the US. Because given the choice, most people worldwide want to be like us.
I just bought a pair of athletic shoes made in Vietnam; the old beat-up official MLB St. Louis Cardinals cap I wear for yardwork was made in China; and my new Levi's were made some place in the Orient as well.
I'd like to buy some U.S.-made products too.
(More than three-quarters (76%) of urban Chinese consumers say that they would like to buy American DVDs in the coming year)
Of course, it's the Dark Blue Hollyweird that gets to profit.
On another topic, it's amazing how much the third world still love the American car. They still think Japanese cars are crap. It's as if their opinions froze after the 70's. Good for GM!
What? Chinese consumers are buying stuff from America? But everyone knows the godless commies are bent on pillaging America through insidious manufacturing and export. This story has to be part of an inscrutable plan by Wal-Mart to undermine the WM-bashers here in the US. Oh, wait. Wal-Mart's run by round-eyes. Substitute Rovian for inscrutable.
The real mystery is where the Chinese got the idea from that these items are made in America.
