And my host there that was getting married his family business makes the electric motors for GE washer dryers ( in Vietnam ) China has become to expensive.

Most of our debt is to China, and our children will keep paying off interest to our Chinese overlords

Or the midwest in general, so that's a fairly new trend.Investing in infrastructure is a smart play; China has done that every time their economy slowed down, they invested in infrastructure.

(Not criticising this phenomenon just observing).Coming back to Marc Faber, I followed his and other people's advice too closely and had a lot of opportunity cost loss by going into emerging market equities (especially China) and gold.

If you are in direct competition then you probably get irked from time to time, but if you value their services in the market, like you value not having to go to china and source your lightbulbs yourself - well you might like them.of course they are not investors, just like contractors, agents, loan originators, stores that sell kitchen cabinets etc are not investors, but they are suppliers to investors - so they are of great interest to investors - and maybe the increase in knowledge gained at BP will increase their value added.
