Yes, I do see your point. But the role of foil in the bottom drawer of my cabinet is of much less concern that the 10 gallon tank in my car that takes $40 to fill.

I found it interesting, though that when I was in China, almost everything I saw in the stores had a tag that said, "made in USA."

Also, when illegals can earn $67/hr. working construction, I have to wonder how many have lost a 'good paying' job.

You´re the perfect example.
Chinese children are allowed to do anything up to the age of four, then they get hit if they say or do anything their parents don´t like.
That´s why most chinese prefer to stay mentally at the age of four years.

Start growing up son, you´ll need to if you´ll ever want to be taken serious..

An American who consider himself always right!
But vituperation and vilification , what you can do?

Hongkong has been sacked and is now in line with Beijing.
Since the Brits left Hongkong trade has reduced enormously.



This is meant in an economic sense. Without Taiwanes orders Chinas economy would falter.
And btw, Taiwan has not a single factory in mainland China.
They only order goods there and these goods can easily be ordered elsewhere.

My business contacts in China for longer than a decade now have always been channeled via Taiwan. The ones I tried via Hongkong were mostly ripoffs (chinese side).

Dreamer.

And please, stop telling people about democracy when you have never lived in one.
Don´t call others liar when you KNOW they are telling the truth.

And harking on the quake is not making your position any better.
I have collected among my employees and doubled what they gave out of my private money. This was sent to China in cash and supplies.

Though so far I have not even received a thank you
Not that it matters, but I´m sure, i am doing a lot more for China than you ever will-

And that´s the main difference between you and us evil westerners:
You shout paroles, we help.

Wrong again pal, not american.
And it´s cheap for one who vilifies everything to accuse others of vilification.

Ok, if one never in democracy can't say democracy, but first democracy-enlightener of the world such as Rousseau , what they can say?
I don't know what you have talk about China is or not truth!
But when you told others here that what xy_god was thinking about, I know you are full of liars!
You can read my heart? Faint!

Ok, you never met me, how do you know I did nothing for disaster?
At least, I donate to people who suffered earthquake!
And I call my friends to donate them also!
But if your words on your working about earthquake is true, I have to say thanks to you!
Although you don't like me!

Why is HK becoming known as the Asian financial capital, catering to most of Asia, the ME (in particular) and many Europeans?

I'm beginning to wonder if you know what you're talking about. Taiwan has numerous factories on the mainland, and I know from personal experience they've been there in various forms since the 1980s.

Silent hands in Taiwan behind the iPhone - International Herald Tribune

From the article:

"In all, Taiwan companies produced $31.5 billion in communications equipment and services last year, more than 50 percent above the total the year before, according to the institute, which expects production to reach a value of $46 billion by 2010. Less than a quarter of that was manufactured on Taiwan, with the bulk made on the Chinese mainland.

And Taiwan companies, like their rivals in Japan, South Korea and elsewhere in Asia, have increasingly shifted production to their factories in China to save money. With their close cultural, financial and linguistic ties to mainland China, Taiwan's companies have an edge over those from elsewhere."

This is pretty common knowledge in the business community, which makes me wonder if your statement of Taiwan having no factories in China is indicative of your overall knowledge of that business community.

That's not what I hear, but perhaps your personal experience differs from the norm.

I only dislike dishonesty.
who knows, we might even become friends if we were to meet sometime.
But that would mean, you´d have to accept other opinions and not stay on your constant : "i am right, you are wrong - I am good you are evil"

Yousee, the main attribute of democracy is tolerance. without it. there can be no democracy.
And at present, tolerance is what you lack.

Have a look at a german news site, haven´t found any in other media so far about this.

There's always possible!
But the logical mistake in your words that I have point out, you haven't
admitted yet!
And please answer Americano's problems!

Taiwan und China beenden politische Eiszeit | tagesschau.de



You´re talking of 1998.
We live in 2008. Things have changed since then.




Taiwanese are to date not allowed, nor is anybody else to buy land in China.
They give the money and the name to factories, but should China close the borders again, money and factories will be lost.
So, there is no possession.

Friends of mine have factories in Shenzen and near Shanghai but they have to pay bribes no end so their factories will not get "taken back" by the chinese.
No factory operating under a foreign name has a contract for longer than 12 years. After that time the contract MIGHT be prolonged or "repossessed" by China.
(btw not even chinese farmers can own land, it all belongs to the country.)



If you apply "norm" to a couple of your pals you might be right.

You can get into China for business via your own government, that means your company must be pretty big or via Hongkong or Taiwanese intermediates.

AND I know very well what I am talking about.

Well said...pretty much what I said earlier in this thread...but you have examples.

as below, my English is not very well, you analyze it yourself!
If you think you are wrong, could you say sorry to me?
