Regarding setting up business in China, yes, they make it convenient for you to set up shop there, but as some business owners I know who have gone through the process have told me, after your business is set up and running, they quietly set up a copy cat business (after learning from you how you do it) and slowly put you out of business by undercutting your prices. So, you may want to look beyond the immediate cost reduction to the long term consequences when doing business with China - and protect yourself accordingly!

Asdrubal Sossa-Robles of Newport Beach, California stated that China does not have rules and it is easier to do business there than in the USA… he is wrong.
To suggest that China has no rules is ridicules. Actually their bureaucracy makes ours look good ..and their rules are harsh, for instance, the Chinese government has uncovered thousands cases involving the production or sale of sub-standard food products. China executed the former head of the State Food and Drug Administration, Zheng Xiaoyu, for the Melamine incident. Another senior official from the State Food and Drug Administration, Cao Wenzhuang, was given a suspended death sentence for taking bribes. Geng Jinping and Zhang Yujun were executed with a bullet to the back of the neck for manufacturing tainted milk. Firing squads are routinely used for dishonest entrepreneurs. Not only do they have rules but it seems their enforcement is a bit harsh.
A salmonella outbreak in the United States sickened 700 and killed 9 people. Stewart Parnell and the Peanut Corporation of America (PCA), the head of the FDA are all dam lucky this is not China.

Do you know that US eliminate the use of paint containing lead since 1978? Well, but China is using paint containing lead right now and exporting goods(Toys, Furniture, Tools, Appliances, etc) to US, Why? Because China don't have rules.
Do you know that in the California State, for example, an Entrepreneur to starting a business want to get 19 Federal,State and City Permits, meanwhile in China not need nothing? US want to go to World Trade Organization with an intelligent proposal to fit equal rules to Trade with China.
We want to avoid the flood of goods of China. Some years ago I worked in an The Home Depot Store and I verified that 90 of each 100 items in stock for sale has been imported from China....How the small,medium of big American Companies can survive in this scenario?

A major contributor to America's debt is our consumption of fossil based fuels. If we were able to not only curtail the amounts used each year but start mass producing electric cars that are fueled by renewable energy such as wind, geothermal, solar etc.. we would not only be cleaning up our environment in the U.S but reducing our dependence on the import of oil as well. If America is able to emulate what China, of all places, is starting to do with their investing in Green energy, then our citizens would have more jobs producing the power, building the vehicles and batteries, and probably lessening our health costs at the same time. The new electric Tesla vehicle goes from 0 to 60 MPH in 4 seconds. That is similar to a Corvette so loss of power should not be an issue. I am pursuing the mining of rare earth metals that are required for Green Energy. Small part in a big play.
