And Iron an 3 was kind of a let down if yah ask me.

I know, a lot of things didn't make sense to me either. I mean it was good and entertaining, but It was not as good as i thought it would be.

I won't say everything because there is a lot of poeple that still have not seen it.

Iron Man 3 was awesome better than 2 and just as good as 1 if not better in my opinion. The humor alone made that movie, it was so believable.
I don't get the part about China, anyway freedom reigns.

This is going to be interesting.

I'm okay with the Japanese auto industry incursion - they have Pocky.

I'm a little more leary of China. They are under a -huge- labor crunch. They have been forced to adopt automation in order to reduce the amount of imports required for higher-tiers of manufacturing. This has led to a lot of their human-powered labor becoming redundant and unnecessary. They've been dealing with labor protests/riots for years, now.

Anything they learn from absorbing our engineers is going straight back home. It may employ some of our people for a few years... but within a decade - they are going to be shutting down factories here and opening them up in their country.

And that's bad news for high tech industry in the rest of the world.

About the only saving grace is that China has to import huge amounts of oil, coal, and processed metals or ores. A lot of their natural resources are fairly poor - spare for the corner market they currently have on rare earth metals (which are, ironically, imperative in these vehicles touted to 'reduce our dependence on foreign oil.... we just swap one dependence for another - and it puts us in direct conflict with a much more dangerous entity).

Now... if the State Department is willing to construe the ITAR and USML to force the take-down of a 3d-printed hand-gun... why are they not fighting the transfer of information and personnel from companies like GM (who produced the M-1 Abrams) to companies owned by a foreign entity (China)?

I mean... it's a bit hypocritical for me to evoke government policy and regulation, here... but... you know... compare the Chengdu J-10 to the J-20, produced roughly six years apart and after alleged security breaches at Lockheed-Martin... the structural, material, and aerodynamic principles reflect at least a generational gap in manufacturing process. It's not just differences on the drawing board or design philosophy - it had to involve very radical shifts in the manufacturing (and possibly design) process that can't be explained without direct council from experienced sources and/or documentation.

*flips table over* These ****s aren't going to be happy until my kids have "made in china" tattooed on their ass.
