the companies are supposed to be sold to magna sberbank and a chinese company.

what have these three companies in common. one is based in canada one in russia the third in china. all three countries are known as not being loyal to intellectual property rights. all three countries are well known as countries where intellectual property rights are violated in a large scale in case of china even made a state policy .

china is well known for hacking into corporate america´s computers even to government computers to steal information and intelligence.

magna and sberbank already announced they want to use opel technology to be used in other fields and brands then opel. both talk openly about technology transfer and make clear that this is their intention to buy opel.

hummer also contains very advanced technology the chinese not able to produce and create for a long time. again technology transfer seems to be the major intention to buy the company.

american production costs are much higher then the other countries. health care retirement insurance payments environmental care and similar costs apart from the high wages makes american products more expensive then the competition.

at present america tries to keep the value of the dollar down to make american products competitive. but this policy also keeps the buying power of american companies down their ability to act on international markets are going to be weakend.

americas only strength lies in the technology. the advanced american know how, american technology is the only point where america can compete and that is sold out. sold out to countries like canada china and russia who openly say that they target technology. america is giving away the only thing they can compete with these days.

the white house thinks they are doing something great by forcing gm to sell off opel and hummer. but there is no doubt now that acutally that will be the end of the competitive american market.

and the past show a country in the size of america can not be a second swiss only producing money and fonds. a 300 plus million country needs a solid manufacturing industry to keep running.

more and more western companies get bailed out by the government until now it was a strict rule that the state doesn´t involve in market events and let the forces act as they want to act because this way a natural order of things will be established if a company has a proper product for the market and advertises it properly to reach it´s target consumer it will sell it´s products if it doesn´t do both of them it will fail in the market and will go bust it was considered it has to go bust because it has not a proper product and there is no necessity to keep a company or a product alive when no consumer or not enough consumers will purchase this product and additional to that it has a proper price what means it is as cheap or cheaper as it´s competing products it was a iron rule in market economies so it´s katechistic teachings were exported it was exported through the world bank and the IMF to the less developed countries who are not following these rules and it was considered that the reason for their failure was that they are not following these rules it was made a precondition for optaining a loan from the world bank or the IMF the world was in it´s right place as long as the western companies made enough money or where on the top of the field when the advanced economies came to a point where the undeveloped economies where when they applied for a loan from the world bank all bets where off suddenly the rules or the conditions to reach to a loan where no longer available when the third world country applying for a loan or it´s new name bailout are USA or Great Britain or name it as you want suddenly all this developed economies did what they never allowed to the third world suddenly big companies who where too big to adjust to the markets get feed with money and money and money to keep them alive because of the size of their economic turnover the companies who are dependend to GM and the Big Banks who would also fail with the BIG companies because all their sales depend on the BIG companies these BIG companies became too Big for a economy or even too big for the world markets even it is the natural development of a company that does have by the time the right product for the market and less or no compatition it will grow and grow and it deserve this because it has the right products and the right marketing but suddenly it comes to a point where the competition cannot hold foot with the ONE company and at one point this BIG company stands alone it buys from almost everyone and it sells to almost everyone when the world changes and requiers new products and new marketing strategies this ONE company is suddenly too big to adjust to the new conditions or it is too blind to see the new development because every big organisation creates it´onwn reality and wishes that others will adjust to it´s own reality because of its size and that´s a normal behaviour with big organisations when this Big Company falls face down it takes a huge part of the world and the national economy with it down the drain due to it´s dependancies at this point the governments have no other choise but to keep a failed company alive because it´s fall would have a catastrophic effect on the rest of the ecnomic actors a smaller company with not so many dependencies will fall will go to bankruptcy and will be allowed to go to bankruptcy as you see here is the dilema of the market economy and I admit I have no solution to this problem a company has a proper product grows beats competition becomes monopolic has many companies that feeds it turnover becomes rigid in its size failes to see the change in market dynamics and goes down in a big crash the government does something that it at normal point never does it intervenes in corporate politics it gives corporates billions of dollars wich at normal circumstances would lead to a WTO complaint for illegal government support for national corporations like subventions in this global case all forget about WTO complaints and joint subventionize a company that in a national only failure should have to mean bankruptcy how would it look when a natinal only company like Boeing or Airbus would go bust when the counterpart competition that would not effect this side or benefit would go down and get subventinized by the other government as it does now for this world wide companies however we see how fast economic principles get thrown overboard when it effects us and how rigid it will enforced when it effects the other .
