China outpaces the U.S. in car sales

The PRC is going to outpace the U.S. and it's economy simply because they are allowing their market to work, they are seeking vital natural resources and developing their own and they are willing to enforce their own laws to keep the crime level at bay.

We here in the U.S. are doing all we an to destroy our own economy by defying all the laws of marketing and competition using a free market, here commonsense need not apply and it is we who should begin wearing the Chairman Mao quilted coats and holding pretty bogus state parades.

The full circle of ignorance and defeat.

It's a fluke, once credit start flowing freely in the US, US would be on top again. Thou I think it was rather smart and responsible of Chinese government to limit tax break to fuel efficient cars only. It might be something our government should considering doing too with our stimulus plan.

While Americans complain about the influx of Chinese goods on their storeshelves, they conveniently forget all the high-price exports the US ships to China such as cars and airplanes. And these are on top of all the profits made by American corporates like McDonald's, KFC, and Starbucks by having franchises in China.

I hope there will be a regulation up-front to control the environment and the consumption scenario.
What has hurt the american car industry is the fact that fuel effficiency has been kept as the last over all the years and when the gasp proce hit the ceiling it finally got realized that all that big is not always better. i hope the rest of the world will get a lesson from us, for wht we are learning the hard way.

The United States is not the country it use to be 50 years ago. We are not the patriotic and "hard working" Americans we use to be. We've become a consumer society while creating billion of dollars in trade deficit with China. We are too afraid of our own shadow and people are depending on the government too much for help. While many Americans get tangle in debt from borrowing beyond their capabilities to payback, citizens of China are more likely to work harder for their money. Not to mention we've become a society where Americans have become "sue happy" as a quick way to earn cash. While people in the United States tend to borrow money and end up in debt, thus blaming their government, people in China are supportive of their government as a way of national patriotism. Lets get back to the way things were, work hard and be smart about money because that's how many immigrants in the United States became successful.

I think it's interesting that such minor environmental-conscious moves by the Chinese gov't are generally praised, whereas arguably the most effective one, reduction of population growth by limiting birth rates, is almost ubiquitously condemned in the west.

In many aspects, US is still superior over China. But the important point is not where each country is standing right now but which direction each country is heading to. At least for the last decade, China is definitely heading to the direction to be better while I doubt you can say the same for US...

As an American living in China, I am able to witness first hand the many improvements in China. China population is 4 times larger than the U.S., however, less than 20% can afford to buy a car. There is not a true increase in China, but a drop in American buyers. Trade agreements can help the economy and improve the worldwide poverty situation. China is your friend, not your enemy.
