BBC just posted that they, China, had surpassed the US in
MANUFACTURING, NOW.
Maybe that is inflated....they admit the quality is not there.....
Who cares, what a comment.......
Kind of too late to smell any coffee really, for the US, or for anyone else concerned, really.
Then you get US 'pundits' like Thomas Friedman, yesterday, in the BBC, saying ridiculous, and long passe, and for those reasons, stupid, things like this:
"That's part of a broader concern of people which is that
China is still in many ways a freeloader on the
international system. It's not a stakeholder."
Friedman's view has been that globalization is a
wonderful thing that has been partially ruined by 'bad
actors' like
China.
It's like the BBC is saying, in a way, 'take a look at Tom
Friedman. What a bozo. He has been the big
globalization pander.':
Friedman: 'Globalization is good
for you'. 'If you aren't feeling well economically, you
must need a little more globalization.' Or, perhaps:
'If China is burying you with its globalizing cheapness
and
resources, you need a little more
globalization to dig out.'
Ideologically, he has long been toast.
