#2 These "Chicoms" understand global capitalism better than Democrats, that's the sad part.

#3 It should be interesting when they run head-on into labour and quality control laws. Especially because it will be the workers who insist on their enforcement.

#4 This is interesting with an article I read yesterday about the ChiComs having more money than economy and inflation is becoming a big problem. The average city dweller could survive, but the poorer farmers and country dwellers are really feeling the pinch. The article predicted the city ChiComs to start buying overseas while the situation at home deteriorated.

#5 Is the American Spirit Muscular enough to survive the onslaught of rich Chi-Com Goons, rich OPEC Islamist, rich Russian Mafia thugs, rich Narco-terrorist murders, and every other World Class Robber Baron and flood of illegal immigrants.

#6 trailing wife,

It'll be interesting to see if they can cope with the 'multi-cultural' demographic issues in South Carolina.

I remember back in the 80's in business school getting lectured on how to 'fit in', 'respect', just plain not be the ugly american, or whatever you want to call it, when dealing with Asian cultures. Looks like the shoe is on the other foot now....

#7 When the ChiComs bought textile and clothing plants in Italy, the first thing they did was to import very low wage Chinese workers. The locals were totally frozen out of the industry.

#8 Could be tough getting H-1Bs for these jobs.

#9 Yup. And that's one difference between here and the EU.

#10 Could be tough getting H-1Bs for these jobs.

You're kidding? Selling H1Bs has been right up there with copyright extension in the gold flow of our Congressmen. I remember when H1Bs were restricted to 20,000 in total. Now they get 10 times as much annually. I'm sure for enough indirect contributions to election funds and hiring of family members, our esteemed representatives can sell us out very easily.

#11 I don't doubt that there are abuses of immigration laws by legislators as well as thier contributors, but I do doubt that it is widespread and that Mr. Liu will be successful or his enterprise profitable if he tries to do it for $12.00 jobs

#12 Ima thinkrn Mr. Chinese Import Laborer might find the setting a little inhospitable for living
