Do you not think that deals are cut across sectors? something like this: OK Mr Motorola, you get to put in the cell phone systems (o and teach us how to design them,) and, you, Mr Senator, you look the other way when it comes to textiles.

Yeah it works that way during the negotiations.

Then reality sets in.

There is a MUCH larger structural issue on the global economy though.

No one is going to be making new investments like building new manufacturing facilities in China if the Yuan moves up to its free market level.

So forget deals. Whatever shenanigans are going on now only exist because the propped up Dollar (e.g. against the yuan) makes foreign investment look better than it really is.
