China deal

[orezok]

Saw this online. Good news for the USA.

Riverside firm to make RVs for China | The Desert Sun | MyDesert.com

Great they will sell them over there for about 4 years then a china company will copy the RV sell it over there cheeper nad then exportthem over seas to the US the Us company will be out of business in 12 years.
This is the same thing that has been going on for years. They import it to china copy and then export it.

 

[orezok]

This probably so, but you only need to buy one to copy not 30,000. Do you think our corporations don't do the exact same thing?

At least 1,300 people will have a job for a while.

Hope to see more stories like this in the future.

Let's hope that the global RV market isn't big enough for the Chinese to bother with. It is hard to compete with a communist country's labor and material costs. They have a billion employees that will work for whatever "the people" decide to pay them.

They don't just copy the final product. They get us to show them how to build it along with all the manufacturing equipment and the development technology.

Just like all this stimulas money, it goes to China for TVs and other junk. Wake up America!

Likely so. Two seemingly unrelated stories in the news this week. The great strides made by the Chinese aviation industry and the multi billion buy of Boeing aircraft by China. Wonder how many years before our airliners will say "Made in China"?

Say it ain't so.....Boeing is being sold to Beijing???????

AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(me screaming in frustration)

 

[milkman636]

Whew.....very relieved to find out that they are buying 200 Boeing aircraft, not Boeing.

The scary thing is that it is believeable that the Chinese could buy Boeing, and that America would let it happen. We could learn a little about nationalism from the Chinese. They are focused on achieving national goals that were laid out more than 50 years ago. We are quarterly profit driven, that's why I could believe that Boeing would be readily offered up to the Chinese for the right price.

Saw a news story that the Chinese are funding half of our national debt with the money they are making off the "TVs and other junk" they are selling us.

But how many of those 200 will be disassembled for engineering purposes. Probably cheaper to "copy" than buy the company.

Boy, you are optimistic ! I don't think it would take them four years. And you give twelve to the company they copied? I'd cut those numbers in half...............

 

[gregsons]

yeah iwas in a good mood, hoppin for the best.

 

[gwjd]

use all standard wrenches, 12 sides hex bolts, wed all metal, tricky software, that should buy us a few extra:laughing: months

While flying to Asia I talked to a guy from some company based in MN making air tools. They contracted a Chinese manufacturer to make the tools for them and it almost bankrupted the company. The contractor built new plant and was making not exact copies but pretty close ones (but using their know how) of their air tools and drove them out of business by selling them cheap. Then they smarted up and hired a guy from Taiwan to manage the Chinese business. Now they manufacture every part in different Chinese factory and assemble it it India. Well the experience didn't help to keep US jobs at home.

 

[riptides]

I did business with Asia, it is no different than doing business in any part of the world.

You and your companies have to look for the next meal ticket.

One cannot stamp out bolts forever, much sooner than you anticipate someone will find a better bolt, a leaner process, a cheaper supplier, or make the bolt obsolete.

Boeing and most every US company is for sale everyday: It's called the stock market. If they wanted it bad enough, they could buy Boeing, or any other company.

I do believe that the feds would be involved for them to buy a majority stake.

It seems like as recently as the 80's, when the Japanese had all the money, some industies were designated as essential to national defense to protect them from foreign interests.

Could something like that happen today?
