One of the most frequent questions I asked during my visit to China was about moving up the value chain -- developing global corporations, such as South Korea has -- brand name products that would have an appeal world-wide. Almost everybody had trouble understanding what I was asking. I'm sure language was a problem. I speak no Chinese and most of them spoke English. I also suspect that part of the problem was that the question might not be posed very much within China.
I did not see that many Chinese made cars -- or American cars for that matter -- although the press has been saying that US automakers have been successful in China. But then, I am very unskilled in spotting cars. My observations seemed to fit in with what Marty has been saying. -- Michael Perelman Economics Department California State University Chico, CA 95929 Tel. 530-898-5321 E-Mail michael at ecst.csuchico.edu michaelperelman.wordpress.com _______________________________________________ pen-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.csuchico.edu/mailman/listinfo/pen-l
