RE BBC CHINA TO OVERTAKE US ON SCIENCE IN 2 YEARS THOMAS FRIEDMAN

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.
