The Chinese are very strong in speaker driver manufacturing. One of the

Anybody who manufactures something sort of falls into a bad place if the
Chinese decide to compete with them, particularly at mid-prices and below.

It is hard these days to pick up anything at a store (from
candle holders to DVD players) that is not made in China.

Prediction: In 50 years (or possibly sooner), China will be
the dominant economic force on the planet.

Will we be second? Nope. India will be second, and the
Indians will also dominate the computer-business realm,
particularly software. The European Union will possibly be
third in terms of economic clout. We will be an also ran,
struggling to keep ahead of Brazil or possibly a South
American union of some kind.

Let's hope all of those guys are friendly. Thank god I will
be dead by then.
