Re: [Pen-l] moving up the value Chain in China?

I don't know if they are in China.  But in Delhi they have been banned now for at least four years.  They all run on natural gas.  Same with buses.  In Calcutta the ban came into place this month but alas the unions were strong enough employing some scare tactics on hapless passengers and under a CPM government got some breathing space.  But they will be banned for sure.

Anthony,

On the three wheelers -- and other small vehicles -- are two-stroke engines still allowed?

China makes a lot of cars and two-wheelers.  Cherry is a big company.  Making cars (assembly) is not the big thing, it is sourcing components.  I suspect China produces a lot of components and hence retained value should be high.

One of the most frequent questions I asked during my visit to China was about moving up the
value chain -- developing global corporations, such as South Korea has -- brand name
products that would have an appeal world-wide.  Almost everybody had trouble understanding
what I was asking.  I'm sure language was a problem.  I speak no Chinese and most of them
spoke English.  I also suspect
that part of the problem was that the question might not be posed very much within China.

I did not see that many Chinese made cars -- or American cars for that matter -- although
the press has been saying that US automakers have been successful in China.  But then, I am
very unskilled in spotting cars.

My observations seemed to fit in with what Marty has been saying.
