There are many other aspects to this issue, including the wholesale voluntary transfers that have been going on now unabated.
Not to mention the trade agreements and deals,
since Nixon........
Usually the gullible US company finds out, two years later,
that it has been copied and knocked off, or bought out, and goes under accordingly.
When you build factories in a place like that, what should you expect?

RE MONA CHALABI RETHINKING HOW WE TEACH ECONOMICS NYT
Sets the stage for some of my comments here re disciplinary multi disciplinary and interdisciplinary studies,
and the problems of advanced Western intellectual, cultural, industrial, and commercial education.
Criticizing, as she does, IR mainly for its lack of moorings in the august discipline of economics, without more, still leaves the story of
' crisis management ', (a question begged here, really, and scale and perspective problem, in the first place) largely undisclosed.
See also other topics on this blog, eg topics RELATING to what I would call unrestrained academic compartmentalism, compartmentalization.

THOMAS FRIEDMAN WHY NATIONS FAIL REVIEW NYT
One key point here bears comment,
that of the role played by institutions re outcomes.
Cheerleading laissez faire, which is much of what is going on, is the usual.
Schumpeterian ' creative destruction ' is mallarky,
and always has been.

re BBC APPLE FOXCOMM CHINA LABOR REPORTS JUXTAPOSE WITH FT AMERICA'S DREAM UNRAVELS
Western blobal consumers need to have their bubble tech consumption urges curtailed, on the one hand,
while these factory workers in China need to be returned to their villages for subsistence agriculture, on the other.
Trying to export Western labor standards (the Democrat so called agenda),
just so we can further dispossess American middle and lower class workers (the American Republican agenda)
mainly for the benefit of the American very few, and the Asian billions,
is a terrible approach to have taken in the first place;
but that has been American international ' political economy ' since the late 19th Century, really.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-17557630
For those relatively few Westerners who can get,
or even any longer afford,
access also to the FT,
I strongly recommend to read these two articles, and my comments, together.

BBC RE IF YOU REALLY NEED A HAND HELD DEVICE APPLE'S TIM COOK
Apple,
the end of the line,
so to speak,
in Western market capitalism's
in-breeding,
off shoring,
etc.,
corporate slut of the Western world.
Game over,
so to speak.
Western so called consumers need to smell the coffee.
Some, mostly in Europe, have done so.
Too bad really, but what can one do?

This is the kind of cultural fragmentation that emerging, attacker, non Western, civilizations, have now been able to count on, for over a hundred and forty years.

re Pope criticizes 50 year trade embargo on Cuba BBC
RATHER RIDICULOUS POSITION, BUT AMONG OTHER RIDICULOUS POSITIONS, QUITE UNDERSTANDABLE.
The Pope wants naked Catholic power,
in a world falling apart.
Why not call this one that way.
My own view is that we should have taken Cuba in the 18th Century,
and put to rest this ridiculous discussion.
Discussions in the 19th Century were foolish,
but those in the 18th had much less nonsensical domestic 'overlay'.

re HEART OF DARKNESS MAUREEN DOWD
It has been ridiculous from the beginning,
but this is surely the bozo ized beginning to the W W IV I have been talking about,
a foolish hostility where no real strategic goals exist,
costing untold billions,
going on endlessly.
It really reminds one of the 30 years war,
with a multi civilizational component,
and an inter civilizational aspect.

RE GEOPOLITICS AND ANALYTIC PHILOSOPHY BARRY BLITT EAT YOUR HEART OUT MISE EN SCENE
This was a rather good one, for analytic philosophers, aestheticians, and politicians:
THE FRENCH NEED TO EMBRACE AND PROTECT THEIR JEWS AS THEY SHOULD HAVE DONE DOWN THROUGH THE AGES BUT DID NOT
French Christians and others need to learn a little history, and suck it up, and leave their Jewish citizens alone in France.
Whether they should leave Muslims alone in France may be another story for them to solve,
but this hostility, between the modern state of Israel and Muslims, in many countries,
will not settle down anytime soon.

RE US FIRMS SMART OFF SHORING TO CHINA ETC
They have long been having their ideas, and their plants, stolen, lock stock and barrel,
but how do you tell them?
Apple, a locus classicus...
Fareed Zakaria, recently, in Time Magazine wrote about some examples......
what a bunch of fools.
What a bunch of chumps, or rather chimps,
so called bonoboes,
Western enter preeners.
