RIP Cessna...Skycatcher

Exactly. If you just: don't pay your employees anything; lie about using,
say, toxic paint; pirate, copy or steal other people's technology and; kill
anybody who speaks out in dissent, you can save a lot of money.

Now let's be fair about this. They also killed the guy who allowed
glycol to find its way into toothpaste. Bigshot Minister one day --
KAPOW -- dead the next.

In the States when an executive f0ks up real bad, they "resign"and
walk off with $150 million. Think of CitiCorp and it's crap loan
program.

Maybe the Chinese haven't got it ALL wrong.

The most effective solution being the use of slave labor and not having to
comply with any environmental laws? No wonder things are cheaper when
manufactured in China!

Money, at the end of the day, is all that matters to most people.

All true. All could be said of the USA a century ago.

Then, perhaps in a century, China will be worth doing business with.
Until then, why should I be expected to buy a Cessna when the money
from that transaction will go to bullets with our soldiers' names on
them?

Do you honestly think that CESSNA is going to stake thier name,
reputation, and conceivably risk the entire business by going with an

More so, do you honestly think that either Cessna OR your country's
respective aviation authorities are going to let obviously shoddy
unreliable or dangerous aircraft get anywhere near the hands of Joe
Bloggs the pilot?!

Please, at least show some common sense here.

The anti-Chinese backlash here isn't surprising, it's probably more
anti-anythingoverseas and that's understandable. But it is the ebb-flow of
international economics and the USA certainly has had its share of that
upside in the past.

No, Cessna damn well knows what they are doing and even if it is a
calculated risk, hey can survive it but they might less well survive their
competition beating them to this Chinese punch.
