ok, well, duh.
So are lots of various investors. Not all of them nessasarily bringing "American" values or having to answer to the American people. Like when Microsoft (I think it was MS) help the Chinese gov censor words like "freedom" on the internet.
My point wasn't that US companies are solely driving the chinese market, but that US companies have a unique role to play in this.
as I said, we're already there. Edit: to a degree
Want to venture a guess who is number one in human rights violations and in the bottom five of press freedoms?
I'm guessing China doesn't get "nicer" when it gets more powerful. Without, of course, some serious reforms. Those reforms would, of course, very likely hurt the chinese economy badly for some time to come.
As I said, interesting, isn't it?
