President Defends Global Outsourcing 1075
mytrip wrote to mention a New York Times article discussing President Bush's trip to the Indian subcontinent. There, he urged Americans to welcome global competition for their jobs. From the article: "Mr. Bush, reiterating a theme of his trip, strongly defended the outsourcing of American jobs to India as the reality of a global economy, and said that the United States should instead focus on India as a vital new market for American goods ... 'The classic opportunity for our American farmers and entrepreneurs and small businesses to understand is there is a 300 million-person market of middle class citizens here in India, and that if we can make a product they want, that it becomes viable,'"

I'm glad that China has become the industrial center of the world.
I'm also glad that engineering and other idea work is going over there and America can concentrate on what it (nowadays) does best: scamming each other out of money in bubble markets.
I'm sure that in the not too distant future, if it ever came to war between our two nations, they'll be willing to sell us the technology we'll need to fight them at reasonable rates.
In fact, I, for one, welcome our new industrialized, technologically advanced Chinese overlords.
