China's rise as the world largest exporter
China Daily ^ | August 26, 2009 | unknown

China's rise as the world largest exporter, though significant, does not mean Chinese exports will be of as high a quality as Germany's goods, experts said.

The Chinese government should seriously consider ways to improve the quality of goods for export and create more value-added products to strengthen its competitiveness, they said.

For the first time, China took the lead as the world's export champion, surpassing Germany by a minimal amount in the first half of the year.

A report released yesterday by the World Trade Organization (WTO) shows that from January to June, China exported goods worth $521.7 billion. Germany, which has been the world's biggest exporter since 2003, exported goods worth $521.6 billion.

The Chinese Commie Party doesn't actually own all the means of production. They only take over companies that are successful. If you start a little company and make a few hundred grand a year, they could care less. And your national taxes could very well be negligible if you're careful.

but if you show up on the radar screen, they might get their claws in.

Kinda the opposite of what bama's doing here, taking over only the failing companies and banks!
