The Chinese surely understand how international trade
negotiations work, and they also understand bribery, extortion, market
manipulations, and disruption of supply chain through competitive
maneuvering. So, suffice it to say that the Chinese aren't nearly as
naïve as many in the Western World might assume. In fact, in many
regards China sees trade as just another lesser version of war, and in
case you forgot Sun Tzu was Chinese - so, the only folks naïve are those
who think the Chinese are somehow lesser in strategic trade issues or
ignorant to business affairs. They are running their own game plan and
thus, recognize when someone is trying to pull over a fast one on them.
Okay so, let's take all this to a higher level and leave the Council on Foreign relations, EU's Belgium know-it-alls, UN diatribes, and the WTO's loosely enforced rhetoric out of it for a moment. The reality is that the EU has attempted to put the screws to China, not that China is perfect by any means, and force them to buy 100s of new airliners which meet the EU's new CO2 emissions standards or pay huge fees and taxes to compete in Europe. It appears that the whole Airliner Cap and Trade (tax and fee) program has been concocted by a few higher-ups at the EU who are perpetuating the Global Warming Theory (myth) which states that emissions of CO2 from human industry and activities are causing the planet to melt?
Now then, there was an interesting article recently in the Wall Street Journal entitled; "China Envoy Backs Shunning of Airbus," by Daniel Michaels published on 3/10/2012 which discussed some sharp words coming out of a Brussels meeting recently. The article stated that;
"China's ambassador to the EU said that "it makes sense for Chinese Airlines to shun Europe's Airbus planes in favor of competing American models from Boeing Company in response to the EU's new levies on aviation greenhouse emissions."
Of course it does, it makes a lot of sense, especially as it really appeared to me to be an extortion like move from the EU to get Chinese Airlines to buy Airbus jets, which would have re-balanced trade surpluses slightly and put 10s of thousands of folks to work in factories building those jets - along with another win for Global Warming Alarmists showing they can control markets and introduce a new form of currency to control and force environmentalism down the throats of nations world-wide, while also keeping Chinese, Russian, African, Indonesian low-cost carries with older aircraft out of the lucrative European airline markets.
Then there was the previous WSJ article on 3/9/2012 entitled; "EU-China Battle Stalls Airbus Sales," by Daniel Michaels and David Pearson which explained that the CEO of Airbus accused EU higher-ups of creating a war with the Chinese costing Airbus over $12 billion in new aircraft orders. I'd say it is at least that high, if not higher, and in the future could blossom to an astronomical loss for Airbus, all over climate-gate tactics. Apparently, all this maneuvering in the EU back-fired on them, and it couldn't have come at a worse time considering the financial crisis in the member nations there.
Further, the Chinese don't want to reward bad behavior or succumb to this extortion-like move, nor should they. China has every right to buy aircraft from whomever they want for whatever reason they care to choose. That's what free-markets are about, and the EU knows or should have known better. But in this case the Chinese airlines will be buying superior aircraft from the Boeing Company anyway, so it's a win-win for all. Please consider all this and think on it.
