China Preparing

I have read and am re-reading a book titled China Wars that describes how China is getting cozy with various countries in South America. Middle East and on the African Continent and we cannot respond because China owns so much of our national debt. If they were to call the loans it would destroy the financial markets of the United States. Many if not all of the weapons used against the United States in Somalia during the Clinton administration were from China. The Chinese keep us on edge by threatening to make Taiwan part of China again which would require the United States to become militarily involved due to our long standing promise to defend Taiwan against such a move. They are also inhabiting a series of islands leading up to China and will eventually be able to control ships going to Japan and other neighboring countries in times of disagreement.

It also explains how the Chinese copy and pirate just about everything made by companies who outsource their production to China. It is possible but takes a lot of work to survive in the United States without buying something made in China. It is nice to know Wal-Mart has the courage to confront the Chinese which is something the United States as a country cannot do anymore.

Maybe we should take a lesson from Wal-Mart's manual on employee relations with our migrant workers.

Below is a note found in the Washington Post....

At a factory in Shenzhen, China poor migrant workers assemble stereos supplied to Wal-Mart stores. Factory engineer Surely Huang says "the profit is really small...we have to constantly cut costs to satisfy Wal-Mart". Workers receive about $120 a month. A sign on the wall reminds them of their expendability in a nation with hundreds of millions of surplus workers: "If you don't work hard today, tomorrow you'll have to try hard to look for a job."

I wonder which Dale Carnegie class the Chinese missed....or misunderstood when they pirated the lesson material....
