The great Chinese outsourcing begins . . . with cars!

"Chinese Automaker Plans Assembly Line in Malaysia: Rivals are keeping an eye on the cars, which they say too closely resemble their own," by Keith Bradsher, New York Times, 19 October 2004, p. W1.

First China's running out of young female labor for certain factories so they getting ready to outsource jobs. Now comes word they're getting ready to outsource entire factories!


Here is a copycat carmaker that reminds one of the old Japanese tricks. But even better than trying to take on Detroit head on, this company, Chery, is "hitting them where they ain't," meaning going into Malaysia and Iran instead of the U.S.


Still think Chinese diesel submarines are the biggest threat to America?
