Classe move to China

Andr,

It is all global. Oil companies drill in US for free on governement (common) land with all gov. subsidies (tax breaks) but can sell oil wherever they want. It was shown recently that US became net oil exporter. We still import crude oil but export a lot of oil products.

China is expanding in exponential rate. They're building 50 nuclear power stations, many solar power stations and became world largest car manufacturer. It might be smart to start learning Chinese.

China has some problems of its own. They are also becoming dependent on oil and so are subject to the same robbery-by-oil shiek as the west.
What some see as an 'advantage' by the Chinese in the form of just being able to build what they want without our (US) Enviro rules will eventually come back to bite them. I'd love to know what they plan to do with 50+ reactors worth of waste.

Well, at least with all this new man made input into global warming I may no longer need to head south to escape the cold weather when I retire.....

French Canadians making amps for South Koreans..
What a strange brave new world.
I'll stick to American and European. I heard though that Rowland sells most of his stuff in Asia too but hopefully he doesn't tune his amps to Korean, Chinese, Malai etc. ear. Any fans of Korean music here?

Hi Kijanski,

I know about the drill rights and the distribution in a free market. I'm more concerned about the workforce used to carry on the exploitation. Are they going to bypass the local workers, depriving high paying jobs to people in the vicinity ?

When the chinese bought the oil field in Alberta, it was alledged they have considerable oil potential on their own land and wanted to learn more advanced technology here. Oh yeah !??.....Then why can't we gather a 20 000 north american workforce to go drilling on their own land for them instead ? And how do you think the chinese would react to that ? And it would be closer for our boys to get Classe amps over there !(had to plug that one in order to stay on topic).
