Re: China as a high tech source

[Anthony <dcosta@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Greetings from Kitakyushu, Japan.  I am participating at a conference on information and comm technologies in Asia.  We have several Chinese presenters from the industry.  I also attended another meeting in DC where we had Chinese participants.  I will briefly report when I get back.  It would be foolish to think China is not upgrading.  And they are doing it on a scale unprecedented anywhere so much so that Japan is almost being compelled to partner with Chinese production systems.

Cheers, Anthony
