The Point Is

China thinks that we are going to “hold them” for us to use them in our companies moving over there like we once did with Russia. We just want to be able to trade with them. The title means that China is trying to keep everything for itself. I agree with the author when he says that China is on edge. They don’t understand what we are doing this all for. We are only trying to trade with countries. On the other hand, I don’t agree with the author when it comes to the same thing; trade. China is one of the biggest and fastest growing countries in the world. If they are limited on supply like things then I understand why they don’t want to trade.   

Outsourcing

Outsourcing means to purchase goods, or subcontract services from an outside supplier or source. There are many small and big companies that outsource to off-shore destinations like India, China, Philippines, and Russia. A few companies that outsource are IBM, Microsoft, Cisco, Prudential, ATT Wireless, and Dell Computer Support.

I personally don’t think that china and India are under-hyped. They are growing by the millions! These giants are being hyped more and more every day. Especially because of the American businesses moving there; with their communications, factories, and for some even head-quarters. This isn’t even including the Chinese and Indian businesses that are already there. India and China effect us here when they move our big businesses there. I dont think that they realize that it may be creating jobs over seas but in America its leaving us with no jobs and a growing economy problem.

Why Should We Care?

1.       "Who cares how many people are in India. Why should I care?" Should we care? - We should care because they are some of the most successful economies in the world; they also hold most of the Earth’s population.

2.     

  "It's wrong for governments to force families to have small families." Agree? – Yes I think it’s wrong. It’s your choice whether or not you should have a big family. There could though be a situation where I would agree with the government on small families. If they were having trouble with having enough food or shelter or something like that then I think it would make sense to tell people to have small families so that the country doesn’t get “destroyed”. Also, it could someday limit what is supposedly Earth’s “infinite” resources. 

Their growing population will someday limit Earth’s infinite resources causing chaos on Earth.
