| #4 Beijing is worried because large-scale econ protests are increasing in frequency + size across the country, espec widin China's major industrialized regions, + EXCLUSIVE OF THE MUSLIM/UIGHUR SEPARATIST THREAT TO WEST CHINA = XINJIANG. * ION WAFF > CHINA ROLLS WEST, into Russia's backyard in Central Asian Regions. * SAME > RUSSIA + CHINA FACE OFF IN CENTRAL ASIA AS WEST SLEEPS. The ex-Soviet SSRS = -Stans don't particularly like or trust China, but do like + appreciate China's willingness to make lots of major investments in their country which Mama Russia is reluctant, can't or or won't do. IOW, -STANS "HATE-TO-LOVE" OF CHINA = US AT ELECTION TIME = "ITS THE ECONOMY, STUPID"! |

| #3 What's the problem? At least they have jobs. Probably not for long - and they knew that before this threat. Foxconn announced recently they are making a major purchase of factory robots to replace a lot of hand work being done by humans today. |

| #1 What's the problem? At least they have jobs. That's more than you can say for the people in this country whose jobs were outsourced to Foxconn. |
