Larry notes something more important and almost in passing. Specifically, that "China is going to build a ?screen city? in the central part of the country. This rumored city is two to three years from being operational, but for China this effort would be the Silicon Valley for manufacturing."
This is an obvious election year and along with ZDNet's other blog about government spending to support off shore IT training, I believe its time to question the "wisdom" of our elected officials regarding the state of manufacturing importance in the US.
Why can't our leaders put an emphasis on manufacturing as the Chinese leaders obviously do! Manufacturing generates jobs far more that service sector categories will (for example, in the health business sector.) And, to note in passing, I and millions of other Americans have fine health but jobs are scarce at the moment. It would be nice to have a healthy manufacturing sector in this country and worry about health care services later.
