Wednesday Sept 19 will be Talk Like a Pirate Day. That will be fun, but what is going on with the real modern day pirates is anything but.

I am of course referring to the wholesale Chinese Piracy of Just About Everything. An accompanying article, suggests that the Chinese Brand is damaged goods in the eye of the American consumer.

Back in the 1950s Japan had a reputation for poor quality goods.  Adopting the ideas of Dr. Deming erased all that, just ask GM or Ford.  Can China do the same thing now?  i don’t thinnk the Chinese quite understand the idea of property rights in a Communist environment, r ever will  After all, Intellectural Property and everything else belongs to the People, right?

Your take?
