[ ::: ♥Keep_Mailing♥ ::: ]™ Fwd: WHY IS CHINA SO FAR AHEAD OF US? .

                    

                     MAY ALL OF US HAVE A BETTER YEAR AHEAD

                 "Walmart is flooding the American and Euro markets with Chinese, Taiwanese goods." Well these are just sharing of                                      opinions on the reality of the world economy.With America and Europe who were the pillars of industrial and economic

                  world development crumbling, the Chinese and Japanese are spreading their economic tentacles in taking over many

                  Western Companies as majority shareholders. And how do they do it - All their products are far cheaper regardless

                  of the media hype that their products are flimsy and not durable. When products are made cheaper, you are making it              
                  affordable to the poorer middle-class and thereby expanding the demand market a lot more. The plus factor of these

                  Asian Giants is that labor and natural resources are far far cheaper than the Western World. The only thing they lack

                  is scientific innovation. Even in this they are very watchful of new inventions in America and Europe. They would be the

                  first to buy the innovated product, to be analyzed and studied upon and "presto" in a few months time their Chinese             
                  or Japanese version of the same product is available in the market at one-third the cost.

                  Here is also an interesting article received from a U.S. friend. Though a long write-up, it's interesting and informative.

Is their design, engineering and architecture advanced past the US ? - imagine the mindset of those who worked on this at these heights   Note  that the person below is 1102 feet above the ground and  is sweeping the dirt off this twenty first century engineering marvel with a broom that was designed  centuries ago and has no safety line. Blasting and  coating this steel superstructure in a couple of decades  will be an interesting  project.  Aizhai   Bridge in Hunan province is 336 m (1,102 ft.) high and  has a 1,176 m (3,858 ft.) span.  It connects two  traffic tunnels in the mountains, cutting the time  needed to traverse the canyon from 30 minutes to 1  minute. Construction  took five years.  Work finished at the end of last  year, making it the world's longest and highest  suspension bridge.  A  brave worker put the final touches on the Anzhaite   Bridge . The  bridge, which connects to two tunnels, was built to ease  traffic.  Drivers  can take in the views of the Dehang  Canyon People  and traffic during the opening  ceremony. Vehicles  motor along a two-way, four-lane motorway.  Pedestrians walk along it on a special walkway under  the road.                             This is a bit long, but interesting.   Chinese Supremacy   This article, though aimed at a US audience, gives a scary insight into China 's growing economic power. A Little Known Reality. June 8, 2013. Source: Michael Snyder, Guest Post   In future China will employ millions of American workers and dominate thousands of small communities all over the United States . Chinese acquisition of U.S. Businesses set a new all-time record last year, and it is on pace to shatter that record this year. The Smithfield Foods acquisition is an example.  Smithfield Foods is the largest pork producer and processor in the world.  It has facilities in 26 U.S. States and it employs tens of thousands of Americans.  It directly owns 460 farms and has contracts with approximately 2,100 others.  But now a Chinese company has bought it for $ 4.7 billion, and that means that the Chinese will now be the most important employer in dozens of rural  communities all over America . Thanks in part to our massively bloated trade deficit with China , the Chinese have trillions of dollars to spend. They are only just starting to exercise their economic muscle. It is important to keep in mind that there is often not much of a difference between "the Chinese government" and "Chinese corporations".  In 2011, 43 percent of all profits in China were produced by companies where the Chinese government had a controlling interest in. Last year a Chinese company spent $2.6 billion to purchase AMC entertainment – one of the largest movie theater chains in the United States .  Now that Chinese company controls more movie ticket sales than anyone else in the world. But China is not just relying on acquisitions to expand its economic power.  "Economic beachheads" are being established all over America ...  For example, Golden Dragon Precise Copper Tube Group, Inc. Recently broke ground on a $100 million plant in Thomasville , Alabama ..  Many of the residents of Thomasville , Alabama will be glad to have jobs, but it will also become yet another community that will now be heavily dependent on communist China ... And guess where else Chinese companies are putting down roots? Detroit . Chinese-owned companies are investing in American businesses and new vehicle technology, selling everything from seat belts to shock absorbers in retail stores, and hiring experienced engineers and designers in an effort to soak up the talent and expertise of domestic automakers and their suppliers. If you recently purchased an "American-made" vehicle, there is a really good chance that it has a number of Chinese parts in it. Industry analysts are hard-pressed to put a number on the Chinese suppliers operating in the United States . China seems particularly interested in acquiring energy resources in the United States .  For example,  China is actually mining for coal in the mountains of Tennessee .  Guizhou Gouchuang Energy Holdings Group spent 616 million dollars To acquire Triple H Coal Co. In Jacksboro , Tennessee .  At the time, that acquisition really didn't make much news, but now a group of conservatives in Tennessee is trying to stop the Chinese from blowing up their mountains and taking their coal. And pretty soon China may want to build entire cities in the United States just like they have been doing in other countries.Right now China is actually building a city larger than Manhattan just outside Minsk , the capital of Belarus.   Are you starting to get the picture? China is on the rise. If you doubt this, just read the following: # When you total up all imports and exports, China is now the number one trading nation on the entire planet. # Overall, the U.S. has run a trade deficit with China over the past decade that comes to more than 2.3 trillion dollars. # China has more foreign currency reserves than anyone else on the planet. # China now has the largest new car market in the entire world. # China now produces more than twice as many automobiles as the United States does. After being bailed out by U.S. taxpayers, GM is involved in 11 joint ventures with Chinese companies. # China is the number one gold producer in the world. # The uniforms for the U.S. Olympic team were made in China . # 85% of all artificial Christmas trees the world over are made in China . # The new World Trade Center tower in New York is going to include glass imported from China . # China now consumes more energy than the United States does. # China is now in aggregate the leading manufacturer of goods in the entire world. # China uses more cement than the rest of the world combined. # China is now the number one producer of wind and solar power on the entire globe. # China produces 3 times as much coal and 11 times as much steel as the United States does. # China produces more than 90 percent of the global supply of rare earth elements. # China is now the number one supplier of components that are critical to the operation of any national defense system. # In published scientific research articles China is expected to become number one in the world very shortly. And what we have seen so far may just be the tip of the iceberg. For now, I will just leave you with one piece of advice - learn to speak Chinese.  You are going to need it !
