It's got nothing to do with communism, but with international trade barriers. China has got lots of people who are willing to work for $2 a month, compare that to the US! And in Europe the FORMER communist states like Poland have very cheap labor service too. So it's not amazing that the USA who is CAPITALIST moves out their business to places that have CHEAP labor.

Why should it? I look at where things are made from before I buy them. Don't you? Its called free trade. What our country is based upon. America was built by the Chinese also, think about the first railroad system bringing on the industrial revolution. There is a lot more to America than you care to know. Which is very little. Many Germans fought FOR the US also as did many Chinese. Not all are as you say.\nYou are blinded by hate.

Because it will bring products more cheaply from Mexico to the US.\n\nWe are going to end up outsourcing and getting stuff from elsewhere anyway.  Anyone who that they can reverse this or stop it is just naive or uneducated.  So you have to ask yourself, would you rather import from our neighbors or Asia?

India is a large country and there is a wide scope for any business. The reason is simple the mass is too large, if we are able to take 10% of the population and would like them to have our product, its means we take over a large part of sale, that is to say may be 50% of europe.. will add more info soon.

Huge, we are the biggest importer in the world. If nobody has money here to buy foreign made products, than the rest of the world loses money and vice versa.

Well, i'm glad you're seeing world with a wide vision..\n\nYes in 2004 a statistical survey was conducted by US banks & financial institutions... Major banks like JP Morgan was involved to study the world economy after few decades... the survey produced an astonishing result!\n\nRESULT: After 50 years, China and India will fight for the world number 1 spot, with US behind by 1/2 ranks...\n\n1. China / India\n2. Japan / US\n\nThe suryvey was based on the current growth of china & India, but if the rate depreciates then the result may be different...\n\nReasons: \n\n* China will become the world leader in exports of consumer products, electronics, computer hardware services...\n\n* India will become the world leader in software industry and export man power worldwide to make its economy boom.. India already leads manpower in s/w industry\n\n* Japan will also be the world leader in automobile, electronics, technology...\n\n* US will be the world leader in research, technology, arms & weapons exports...but economy made down by constant terrorist wars and other competitors like china...\n\nThe World No 1 spot:\n\n* China has major chances than India because of its world largest communism idealogy. Even after supports from world biggest democratic countries, India will lose because of infrastructure and democratic beaureacracy..

Cause poor people from states that vote for Republicans go to wal mart and buy stuff that is made in China.\n\nThats a smart @ss answer, but essentially,  up until about a month ago I was all oh my gosh China is the enemy.\n\nChina just wants to sell America goods cause it makes them money.\nThey have a problem in that their one child policy is going to cause a shift in population to where they have a lot of elderly.\n\nEssentially the same thing here, with the baby boomers about to suck off social security.\n\nChina has a big air force,  and they are the second largest nation that is a consumer of oil on the world market, but . .\nthe biggest buyer of Chinese goods on the world stage is the United States.\n\nSo you say what about that they own 350 billion of US debt?\n\nTo that I say, I voted for Kerry who would have raised taxes reducing our need to borrow from foreign entities.\n\nIn short, stop being an @ss yourself and playing the liberal bad conservative good game.\n\nIts politically fashionable to say o no the President is selling these ports to the arabs, have you jumped on that bandwagon too?\n\nI'm defending the President on this.  Its a private transaction to sell the management not the security of the port to a firm.\n\nKuwait and Dubai own stock in Chrysler, but no one freaks out over that ownership.

Honestly? probably never again. World consumption far outpaces production (Thanks to China) coupled with production troubles (political and economic instability in producing countries) mean we will be paying higher prices. (Don't forget inflation too).

The American business sphere, as we know it now, is an elaboration of the same sphere of influence that was ran by the English, the French, the Spanish, and the Venetians during their time.  With the start of the Dutch East Indies Company and before, the world's commerce has been determined using the European model of capitalism; the Americans did nothing to this except accelerated and expanded on its growth and influence.  The only difference is that with mass communication, changes and updates that took months now happen instantaneously.\n\nA switch to a Communist based system would cause complete chaos, crash markets, and kill the competition system that drives many of the world's industries.  This is probably why the Chinese are slowly adapting the "American" system as their own in order to truly compete globally in the economic arena.\n\nI hope that helps.

Why would they buy overpriced underquality items?\nIsn't that why you import everything from China in the first place?

Why are so many things made in China?\n\nManufacturing, especially the mass production of assembly-line goods, is in constant flux.  Companies in every country are looking for the cheapest place to manufacture goods.\nThis trend has accelerated by the pursuit of Free Trade agreements throughout the world.  These agreements create simultaneous reductions in barriers that nations use to protect their native industries.\nThe reduction of tariffs and customs, taxes which are paid on products or raw materials being imported or exported, the goal of trade agreements.  \n"Globalization" is the name of this trend: the constant search for low cost and high quality production regardless of national borders.  Thus, Japanese car makers build some assembly plants in the US, because the raw materials (steel, electronics, tires) are nearby, and the cost of shipping the vehicles to market is very small.  \nMany United States corporations contract to have their products made or assembled abroad because labor costs are much lower than they are in the US.\nChina has profited from this trend because it has an unlimited work force and wages are very low.  So, the production of thousands of products is awarded to Chinese companies.  If you visit any of the low-cost "dollar stores" in this country, you will find that virtually every item is made in China.\nOpponents of globalization argue that this trend is very unhealthy for workers.  By sending business only to the labor market that pays the lowest wages, wages are kept depressed for all other workers.  And, the reason that costs are so low in China is that workers don't have any benefits like vacation, health, or retirement.\nFor now, China has a huge work force willing to work for low compensation, great ports and railroads for the shipment of goods, and local resources of coal and iron for steel making and fuel.

i think it is way more complicated then Europe and here is why. European nations have the advantage of being so close together- asia is much more spread apart. European countries are smaller- think Iran, China, India, Vietnam, Indoneisa,Japan..some of those are about or bigger then all of Europe. We are talking about so much more money,cause the economies in these countries is so much more then that of europe. Nope, dont think it will happen or that it would be a good thing if it did.

China is definitely up and coming and is already one of the major players in the world strategy game. Whether it will be the only player, only time will tell. \n\nSomeone once asked Deng Xiaoping whether democracy has proven to be a superior system of government. He answered: "it is too early to tell as it has only been in exsitence for about 500 years". \n\nWhether China wants to be a world superpower is another story - not everyone wants to be able to project its power even though it has it. Throughout history, China has not expanded outside its borders since historical times even though it had the means to do so. It used to use bribery to improve relations and trade rather than invading and colonising any other country.

The emergence of China as a world power would (in the long run) augur well for the world's Balance of Power.\nThe present Unipolarity that is been experienced would change to Multipolarism with the emergence of other super powers.\nI dont really beleive that China is practising the true tenets of communism. Am sure the "gods" of communism wont be happy with the nature of comunism being practised there!!!\nChina, I believe, is tending more towards capitalism & that would in the long run help the global economy develop faster.

it's nice to see business opportunity around yahoo answers, however there is big issue of political restriction on raw materials in both countries, and you do need strong business partner in China. I am just wondering if you have even heard any similar cases successed? It might bring you some ideas.

Because the Chinese govt. has opened its country to foreign capitalist business, and if Yahoo wants to do business in China they must play by the rules that the Chinese govt has set even if it means the good guys get caught. But money is money and that is the bottom line.
