Typical communism? this kind of thing makes me always wonder what the chinese philosophy really is, and if anybody in the west is able to comprehend it.
I wonder if it's all logical to the locals how one day they are communist and the next protecting capitalistic ventures, and when what rule applies.

If the Nintendo people are smart, they'll send some people over there to see if they can use any of the other companies production techniques themselves.

In the Iphone counterfeit story I mentioned(sorry, don't have a link) nobody bothered mentioning the fact that the Chinese had managed to make the counterfeits significantly cheaper.

Here's an idea: Maybe the Chinese people only SEEM to tend to be poor. Maybe they make less money because they don't actually need as much as people in other countries like the USA. "How could that be?" my fellow Americans ask.

Maybe we've been at the top of the food chain so long that when we started sliding down, it would take a bit of time before we were financially worse off than the people we tend to compare ourselves to.

Think about THAT, because I guarantee that the other parts of the world have already figured it out. It was fun while it lasted, but the bartender is about to call the bouncer, because it's past closing time and we don't seem to care.

because sounds like capitalism, walks like capitalism, looks like capitalism....
