WHINERS!!!!! about dying us companies THE ONLY CONSTANT IS CHANGE!!! i dont think anyone here PREFER black and white zenith tv due to love of motherland.....it is said 17 companies of the original dow 30 has already ceased to exist....is that bad?! did/will america get worse? NOT ADAPTING to change is about one of the best DEATH WISH one can hope for... about WHINERS...lots of chinese brands like facial creme of more than decades old also died with china changing/adapting/evolving with the modern world...
those used by mothers/grandmas of decades pass the modern young chinese today refuse to use and PREFER american brands like something as BASIC as pond's facial coldcreme or sunsilk shampoo who dont need to spent much of advertising but more on new plants/warehousing/distribution facilities

literally hundreds of softdrinks brands died under the coke juggernauy..do we see them chinese companies WHININH about foreign devils? also look at eastman kodak stock...china probably is its last refuge for the soon to be obsolete camera film.....being idealistic is good....but being MISGUIDEDLY IGNORANT about it makes things worst especially for everyone concerned......america has been doing great with FREE TRADE all these decades..lets see how closing some doors will make things better or worst....by the way.....other countries/companies/industries would BE HAPPY to fill in ANY VOID left by america in PARTICIPATION of chinese bonanza....if you disagree...ask any us company RESTRICTED by state department from transfer of technology....germans and japanese are way to happy to fill the gap.....with this policy alone where are jobs gained or loss? oday...china has almost 200 million cellphone users....largets market in the world....if that doesnt define/demonstrate to anyone with out colorblind bias/objectivity...nothing will.....

of course there will ALWAYS BE growing pains.....enforcing/dictating one's own culture/pace of change on another one is misguided if not OUTRIGHT ARROGANCE....newly placed chinese leadership this november has 3 basic legs as vision for the future....one capitalism,two technology,and 3 people's welfare...if we want to improve the conditions of the chinese...work from within...with the EMBRACE of capitalistic materialism and principles...it would be hard for the modern chinese today to have the stomach for war.....everyone is too busy trying to make money......
