![]() "Bertie the Bunyip" wrote in message .. . For a few. The rest--the people who made Cessna what it was by Actually Making the Cessnas--will have a hard time enjoying Cessna's "profits." So don't buy one. Easy, see? In what way is Americans not buying things good for the US economy? It would be better all around if I bought a Cessna that was built in Wichita instead of not buying one that was made in China. Meanwhile, they're reporting record profits for domestic production...not during production in China, but during the last two years. With a crisis like that it's no wonder they're moving to a communist state with shoddy quality control, unethical business practices, massive human rights violations and near-slave labor. Once those folks in Kansas are laid off, none of them will be buying Cessnas either. Not exactly Mr. Ford's business model. And you know the Chinese workers going to buy them either. 'Course, the French might, what with the value of the Euro over the dollar. It'll be interesting to hear from them about how the Skycatcher handles, because I'll probably never fly one. -c |

![]() "Rich Ahrens" wrote in message ouse.com... "No way am I buying any aeroplane built by them heathen Chinee..." F'ck the Chinese. I don't care if people call it xenophobic. They're environment-trashing, human-rights-violating, child-abandoning, dissident-imprisoning communists who sell weapons to our enemies and block their population from accessing the truth about the world and their government. Xenophobic? What are the chances of the Dalai Lama dropping in to watch the Olympics without disappearing? It's not phobic to say that China is our ideological enemy. But I -could- be phobic, because anybody who has nuclear weapons pointed at my home or tries to steal our military technology is my enemy. -c |

Gatt is 100% correct. Placating the Chinese with trade won't last. Eventually, they will exercise their military. I am expecting them to invade Siberia in an effort to expand their territory and gain access to more natural resources. How do you say "Liebensraum" in Chinese? |

Well, you say it as Lebensraum in German, for starters. Bertie- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - Thanks for the spelling check... |

Of course, we should avoid business with any of those nations. (Like Saudi Arabia or Sudan.) Xenophobic? What are the chances of the Dalai Lama dropping in to watch the Olympics without disappearing? It's not phobic to say that China is our ideological enemy. But I -could- be phobic, because anybody who has nuclear weapons pointed at my home or tries to steal our military technology is my enemy. Thank you for demonstrating my point. Sorry. You're incorrect. It's not xenophobic to call an enemy government the enemy. I'm not xenophobic for thinking Fidel Castro is a jackass either. Both governments, coincidentially, have some of the worst media and free speech censorship on earth. I have no moral qualms whatsoever about criticizing their governments for what they are. Fortunately, everywhere except for places like China and Cuba, we don't go to prison for speaking out against them. There, we would. Wouldn't we? -c |
