Saw a documentary the other day on Chinas impact on American consumer.

People were buying these "American Girl" dolls, "USA" caps and similar items. Of course they were all made in China, and most didn't know and when they were told didn't care a whole lot either after the initial "thats crazy" comment.

It seems inevitable that at some point America is going to have to deal with public protests and outrage similar to what Greece is dealing with now. You can't keep consuming and living off your credit rating forever, can you?

Is there a country in the world that can compete with Chinese manufacturing? I thought about high tech stuff, but they make computer chips & ipods.

[Muadib]

Per Capita ?

Germany by far !

In Total Output.. still Babylon..

[Hortical]

Germany can compete with $12/hour construction wages?

[Willi]

Germany can make things others cant...Den the Swiss tek it and mek it perfect. LoL

[Muadib]

I dunno but their exports are just behind China and dem only have 80 Million people !

USA still largest manufacturer.

In the UK, dem tek back luxury yacht manufacting from Asia.

For top quality stuff, "cheaper" is not always better.

China will be seeking to export their vehicles in the future to the USA, and for a couple of years I see Chinese made SUVs in Jamaica. Yuh hear anything about them?

[Islandman]

The other side of the China story is that thier domestic market is growing rapidly., so as time goes by their economy will be less dependent on the US consumer.
