Saw this online. Good news for the USA.

Riverside firm to make RVs for China | The Desert Sun | MyDesert.com

Great they will sell them over there for about 4 years then a china company will copy the RV sell it over there cheeper nad then exportthem over seas to the US the Us company will be out of business in 12 years.
This is the same thing that has been going on for years. They import it to china copy and then export it.

This probably so, but you only need to buy one to copy not 30,000. Do you think our corporations don't do the exact same thing?

At least 1,300 people will have a job for a while.

Hope to see more stories like this in the future.

Let's hope that the global RV market isn't big enough for the Chinese to bother with. It is hard to compete with a communist country's labor and material costs. They have a billion employees that will work for whatever "the people" decide to pay them.

They don't just copy the final product. They get us to show them how to build it along with all the manufacturing equipment and the development technology.

Just like all this stimulas money, it goes to China for TVs and other junk. Wake up America!

Likely so. Two seemingly unrelated stories in the news this week. The great strides made by the Chinese aviation industry and the multi billion buy of Boeing aircraft by China. Wonder how many years before our airliners will say "Made in China"?

Say it ain't so.....Boeing is being sold to Beijing???????

AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(me screaming in frustration)

Whew.....very relieved to find out that they are buying 200 Boeing aircraft, not Boeing.

The scary thing is that it is believeable that the Chinese could buy Boeing, and that America would let it happen. We could learn a little about nationalism from the Chinese. They are focused on achieving national goals that were laid out more than 50 years ago. We are quarterly profit driven, that's why I could believe that Boeing would be readily offered up to the Chinese for the right price.

Saw a news story that the Chinese are funding half of our national debt with the money they are making off the "TVs and other junk" they are selling us.

But how many of those 200 will be disassembled for engineering purposes. Probably cheaper to "copy" than buy the company.
