Actually that isn't it. It is the same reason they are consuming all the Portland Cement, Timber, re-bar, and other construction materials they can get their hands on. They are in the process of building a series of massive Hydro-Electric projects and cities surrounding them from scratch. This is so they can build and power the factories that they do not currently have in order to produce all the components of the products they mostly only assemble now.

They are also having a tad of a problem with quality in their domestic car market and aren't making many strides in correcting them. I maybe a little off but the average all in cost for Japanese auto worker is ~$60 an hour. A Korean's is ~$22, and a Chinese about ~$2. Right there that ought to tell ya something.

Cheap is relative to others in the class. Right now the Europeans don't really have anything to compete against it at its price point even with tariffs & VAT. Plus it is American muscle admired and lusted for since the very first version back in `64.

Nor were the French, but hells bells man it was a war that wasn't being fought to win. According to some it wasn't even a war, it was a policing action.

It was being fought to maintain a status quo. We (the Americans & UN troops) simply decided it was no longer worth fighting for the goal of a stalemate. Many other countries from the UN where there with us as well. They didn't fare much better either with the exceptions of the Koreans who had a rather perverse method of dealing with an attack on one of their Fire Bases.

Well, no, I'm not an idiot, and I do know that China has about 90 submarines, more than 5,000 combat aircraft, an army of more than two million, and they have also just committed an additional $10 billion toward a updating the navy. Yes, it'll take a while, but fighting the Chinese is not a slam dunk. After all the bombs are dropped and all the missiles shot someone still has to go in and take possession with boots on the ground.

BTW, I was a staffie... CincPac, CincPacFlt, NATO South, ComFairMed, SubLant
