Why was the city of Detroit not saved? It is an interesting question considering it was one of the top three cities in the United States while it was producing American-made cars. Consider: 1) Detroit is an international go-between, between the U.S. and Canada, 2) Detroit serves as a major port on the Detroit River connecting the Great Lakes system to the Saint Lawrence Seaway, 3) Detroit has been all but decimated and evacuated and continues to be evacuated, 4) a Chinese city is being built about 40 miles outside of Detroit near Milan, Michigan, and 5) something called the Detroit Chinese Business Association, comprised of approximately 100 Chinese-owned and primarily auto-related companies, is “preparing for dozens of companies from China to push their auto industry into the U.S.”, according to a May 12, 2013 article by Bill Vlasic in
The New York Times titled “Chinese Creating New Auto Niche Within Detroit”.
At the same time, Michigan Governor Rick Snyder has plans in the works with China having visited China twice specifically regarding the state of Michigan and “joint profitability”, and Kevin Orr, Detroit’s “appointed” Emergency Manager reports the city’s problems are more dire than he imagined. Dun-du-du-du-dunnnnnnn!
The following list was discovered on jies.com and is a list of American corporations and companies that have plant and business operation in China. The site also makes the following statements:
“
NOTATION- even though this is a very long list of American and other foreign corporations in China, it is certainly not a complete listing. We have only included a few of the names you may recognize.
“This is a list of companies who either own factories, or have contract factories producing their products in China. Some of the companies produce 100% of their products there, and others only produce parts, or certain ingredients for their products.
The list below is approximately 1% of the actual Corporate list [emphasis added].
“Companies such as Avon, GE, and AT&T for example, have been in China and manufacturing products for 20 to 30 years. Most American consumers simply had no idea. Previously their source was Japan.”

Well, since this represents
1% of U.S. businesses operating in China, hopefully you get the reality of why there are no jobs in the U.S. Please make note of the corporations that chose to leave the nation and its people in favor of exploiting the people of China.
But, also consider the following: What if our corporations are in China to benefit from their lowly paid labor forces, and since American people are now without jobs, what if China, then, comes to the U.S., say to a city like Detroit, and offers low-wage jobs to starving Americans, thus creating global “equity” and “equality”?
By the way, China is building another city in Idaho. Well, no surprise that Idaho Governor Butch Otter “led a delegation of 16 Idaho companies and organizations to China in mid-April for a series of high-level meetings with government and business officials in Shanghai, Chengdu and Beijing. China is the third-largest foreign market for Idaho goods, buying more than $625.9 million in Idaho exports last year” (
http://gov.idaho.gov/mediacenter/press/pr2012/5May/pr_20.html).
Oh, and California, another state in near bankruptcy; yep, their Governor Jerry Brown, also in China selling his state to the Chinese government. As such, it seems that American cities are being sold, traded, or perhaps we are simply trading work forces; our corporations get Chinese workers, and Chinese corporations get American work forces. Hmmm. Which one is it?
It is time for Washington D.C. to fess up because the jig is up. It is obvious what they have done, how they have lied and hidden their long, drawn-out corporate plans and agendas, and now they must confess it and then tell the American people what our lives are going to look like in the next decade. Something tells me that American ga-zillionaires will not remain in the U.S. while we are under the new social and cultural training programs of the Chinese. It is amazing when light bulbs go off over your heads, isn’t it? Come on, D.C., it is time to fess up. And since it would appear that our state governors are also up to their necks in global corporatization, we, too, have to confess our failures as well. At this point, one wonders who is most at fault. By the way, you definitely want to check this out as well:
