Ukit, i don't this don't think either system works, i'm hoping there is a new invention. A kinda demoarianism that is just brilliant, there are no lawyers, and every country in the world embraces it, and we're all very safe and happy. And we all have japanese cats.

Yeah, thanks for telling the whole story e-pill.
Something similar happened to me.
I think somebody should start a website to put all this companies on public shame...
what I find most surprising is that they think it is OK.But be aware that this is something that will be happen MORE and MORE in the next couple of years...
Ultimately what they want is to build up the creative industries and leave the West out.
No offence to Chinese people in general, I know you cannot generalize when you talk about a whole nation.But there seems to be a lot of cut-throat business people out there ready to fuck all the independent creatives in the west.
- i have a very strong relationship w/ that company, even though the nyc office was closed.e-pill
- i still freelance for them from time to time.e-pill
- it wasnt shameful in my eyes.e-pill
- come on cleaththoughts, advertising in general is about taking advantage of your own companies staff.ephix
- i can't think of many industries where staff are expected to work after hours including weekends for free, on a regular basis.ephix
- basis.ephix

- at this company we never had to work extra hours, or use our own time for anything..e-pill
- they took rather great care of all our needs. something i have yet to see from any local comp.e-pill
- finance is one of the only ones. i said not many. and really, the difference in compensation between finance and advertising staff is huge.ephix
- advertising staff is huge.ephix
- west = asskld
- 'west' = 'ass'kld

I was wondering when that Supercomputer nes would make it here - and brodyR's beaten me to the punch. It means very little in terms of GlobalDominancePrestige if the entire infrastructure is built on US technology.
Not having a go - I'd rather view China emergent as a global positive than as something to fear. I'm probably wrong in this.
Whilst we're here - an interesting TED talk on the subjecy of global power shifts, with some respect to China...

Interesting article
http://www.bloomberg.com/news/20…
Four years ago, China’s leadership decreed that certain “pillar” industries, including automaking, telecommunications, mines, energy production and steel manufacturing, should be dominated by companies under government control.
Today, those newly assertive state-owned enterprises (SOEs) are snapping up domestic rivals, expanding their market share and elbowing aside Western investors such as the Washington- based Carlyle Group in the quest for assets. Their rise comes as China surpasses Japan to become the world’s second-largest economy, and has helped inspire a new school of thought called the Beijing Consensus, which holds that state-directed capitalism can help developing nations avoid the financial upheavals associated with free markets.

As long as the chinese made version is the cheaper option, we'll all keep buying it.

When it comes down to it we owe China a lot of money and then we can be like "Nah bitch. I ain't paying."

during many years powerful nations captured resources from others. in a product-based economy as previous centuries it was all about natural resources and goods.
now that the economy is driven by services or intangible products as a website, the knowhow is what is on high demand.

China’s National University of Defense Technology may have designed the world’s fastest supercomputer with speeds 43 percent greater than previous systems, said Nvidia Corp., which supplied parts for the machine.
- if the parts were supplied by western companies then anybody can have a super computer just saying they are not capable on doing it on their ownbrodyR
