So relying on China for our computers is a "good thing?" You might
want to tell your buddy in the White House to tone down his anti-China
rhetoric then. It's going to be pretty hard to fight China if we
depend on them to build just about thing we would use in any war
effort.

There's a bigger problem than that. What happens when the cheap Chinese
imports at Walmart that allow a significant portion of the population
to think they're doing fine dry up?

 
True. But I'm thinking specifically of war rhetoric with a country who
supplies just about everything we need to fight a war.

I read an article this morning that Vista Outdoors is splitting the
company in two and selling the parts individually. It's been in the works
for a while but CSG raised its bid and it looks like it will get the
ammunition part of the business. CSG is the  Czechoslovak Group, a holding
company located in Prague.

Holding companies don't manufacture anything so I doubt CCI and Federal
will leave Idaho and Minnesota respectively but you never know.

I remember reading the book when it first came out. At the time Geneen's
ITT was the poster child for multinationals. It has gotten worse. ITT
itself has had its finger in a lot of pies including the 1972 presidential
election.
