Comments on: Judge overrules union objections to Hawker talks with China http://blog.aopa.org/blog/?p=3810 Online perspective from the editors of "AOPA Pilot". Mon, 20 May 2013 06:19:54 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.5.1 By: chris goodwin http://blog.aopa.org/blog/?p=3810&cpage=1#comment-150116 chris goodwin Mon, 23 Jul 2012 09:50:18 +0000 http://blog.aopa.org/blog/?p=3810#comment-150116 “We” do not “give” the Chinese (implied “our”) jobs: they buy them. They pay with the dollars they have accumulated from years of supplying the U.S. consumer (= “us”) with loads of stuff, much more than we provided to them. This is called payback time.

If you loot the world, “buying up” stuff overseas with fiat dollars, linked to gold, and then turn round and say, “Oh, but now we are not going to pay the gold we originally promissed”; and, “it’s our dollar, but it’s your problem” – then do not be surprised if the overseas customers you have cheated regard you with the contempt proper to a thief and a fraudster.

If you sup with the devil, use a long spoon: the Chinese know this

Cessna has the C162 totally build in China, plus just inked a deal to build jets in China. Hawker Beech is odd man out. If they do not find a buyer who can leverage lower prices, they will disappear.

World wide most materials (read aluminium and electronic components) are about the same price. This leaves only taxes and labor where savings can be realized. Simple math!!!

If this bothersome, stop shopping at Walmart, Lowe’s, Home Depot and all those other big box stores.

China doesn’t do things for no reason. I wouldn’t trust any type of deal that is being paid for by Chinese Government. We’re not talking private buyers but supposedly the government.

If the US worker competed better against foreign workers we wouldn’t be in this mess in any occupation.
