Note: there should be a "_" bar (without quotations) between watch and popup. The underlining covers this over.

I receive this http in an e-mail. It works fine there but I cannot get a video to come up when I type it in. Its a must see about 11 GM plants in Communist China. Also about one plant on American soil owned by Communist Chinese. I am a Corvette owner but I don't think I'll be buying any more GM products. I wish you could see large banner with "hammer and cycle" on one end and a Cadillac emblem on the other. How sad.

I just read yesterday that Ford's fastest growing market is China. Why not take advantage of that? It would be stupid to ignore the profits.

Any company that chooses to ignore the emerging China market, will very likely not be in business 10 years from now.

so if you were in business and could sell 70% more of your product by locating and selling in another country, you wouldn't?

The government announced they were ready to dump all of its GM
stock (32 percent) within 15 months.

http://topics.nytimes.com/top/news/b...ion/index.html


The current administration during the elections said
the bail out was successful and all loans were paid back.

They failed to mention the taxpayers still own 32 percent of
GM stock.

The government also owns around 74 percent of Ally which
was formerly GMAC.
