Anything that China does has to be suspious. They copy everything that the world makes, then they make it. My feelings are, that we boycott everything that is Chinese made and only buy stuff made in the USA. I say f--- the Chinese and all their cheap stuff. Do you want quality, we can make quality too. Do you want cheap, we can make cheap. Do you want to stay safe in what you buy, we have agencies that make that happen, they do not. BOYCOTT CHINESE MADE JUNK OR IT WILL OVERTAKE US SOMEDAY.

I think the point is what can/will Coke do to stop an obvious attempt by Pepsi to make their product look like Coke's. While China's copyright laws bring a new meaning to lassiez-faire, perhaps the Olympic tie-in could provide some grounds for action. Still a rather scrub move by Pepsi.

Hi Ray, just a note...

Currently the only thing the Americans are good at is manufacturing is weapons and exporting subsidized commodity to deprive places like Africa.

Even the dollar is being displaced as the world's currency, the next tipping point or saving grace may well be in the hand of Saudi Arabia's dollar peg.

While the rest of America isn't as xenophobic as you're, drumming jingoism, case in point, Silicon Valley is said to be build by the Chinese and Indians.

Also, what the Chinese is doing, albeit an odd mix of communism, as you rightly said, is to copy the way of the Western world, Capitalism.

Chinese capitalism is like the wild west: lawless, turbulent and every week a new top gun. Fortunes are made and lost in such an environment. Global companies like Pepsi tend to abandon their ethics in an environment where the word has no meaning. All is fair in love, war and, it seems, China.
