Why is America letting China pirate their videos and make money off of them on the streets of China.?

Why is America letting China pirate their videos and make money off of them on the streets of China.?
Everyday, numbers of Chinese people bring video cameras into movie theaters and record American, Foreign, and Chinese movies illegally. Everyday, numbers of Chinese people go onto Chinese websites and download full American movies and movies from around the world for free and sell them on the streets of China. Everyday, numbers of people in China, make big profits off of Americans naivety. Why does America let this happen. What no one knows about shopping in China. Nothing in a Chinese store costs more than twenty yuan. You have to bargain with people in Chinese. Do not apologize to people after arguing with them about a price. They will think you are weak, if you act all sweet and nice to them. Nothing + in a foreign area should cost more than twenty yuan. I don't care how nice it is, they can live off of 200 yuan per year. That is 24 American dollars. So, when they say 500 yuan for a blanket, you think to yourself, would I pay 10,000 dollars for a blanket? So, why does America let this happen? I had to protect Americans there, because I know they work very hard for their salaries and their money. Why just throw your money away, when Chinese people would never do that? What I actually think is that it is trickery. "Hi, I'm so poor, look at my clothes. Look at my kids." What I learned from the Chinese people is that it is an act. You can't play like you are poor, if you are wearing nice clothes. They save their money and get more and save it up, and so on. They told me not to believe the act. The people on the streets with the children are people who had kidnapped a child from a family (who was really too poor to have a lock on their door) and threatened the parents. It's an act. Ummm... They bargain with people. That is how they can live on 200 yuan per year. They can buy a pack of oranges for five cents from their neighbors. They can put their kids through school with 10 yuan, if they know somebody who wants ten yuan. They have their ways of living comfortably off of 200 yuan per year. It's not America where prices are set. Everything can be free for a person, if they know the right contacts. It's not America.

Well, if America won't stand up to China about it killing hundreds of people in Tibet....why would it worry about a few DVDs?
3 :
Hi, Contrary to the movies and all, Americas laws stay in the confines of America. They have no powers of enforcement outside their own jurisdictions. As for the Chinese themselves, they cannot afford to work two weeks to pay for one DVD movie so there is the temptation. Also the US government must watch for pirated videos coming in and send agents to the ethnic grocery stores and flea markets to make big seizures here. Cheers, Michael Kelly

Now you understand how life would be under Obama or Clinton. This is known as socialism. The government sets your wages and the prices. Everyone is equally miserable because you are not allowed to make more money than your neighbor. If you are not happy with your lousy medical care that is provided by the government by doctors who don't make any more money than you do...you'll have to pay a fortune to get better care. Socialism fails every time it's tried. Although there are laws against copyright infringement, no policeman is going to arrest anyone for doing it. This is a matter for the individual being wronged to sue the individual(s) who are doing the pirating. This would indeed be difficult to do. Society must either accept these people in their midst or run them out.

You can ask the same question about Western countries: I live in Australia. Most of the people I know (regardless of their race) download everything from software to games to music from the internet. I am sure it's the same in other countries. You could therefore ask why Western governments allow their citizens to do this. But of course the fact is never that simple. The unfortunate thing is that, in the West people are brought up to believe that China is a totalitarian country where the government controls everything in your life. And therefore anything bad that happens is because of the government. But in fact, the reality on the ground is so different from that picture. (In fact if Beijing was in control of people's lives the way the Western media portrays, China would be an unimaginably powerful country today, and all the problems with toys and so on would not have existed in the first place).

Buy discounted goods from China, and then, re-sell the same products back to China at a profit to make money?

Buy discounted goods from China, and then, re-sell the same products back to China at a profit to make money?
Would this work? Buy discounted goods (anything) from the chines, and then find a chinese buyer for that same product and re-sell them back to the chinese at a higher cost (their economy is surging) , and then pocket the difference? Sound doable??

suppose I have 500 soccer balls, i sold one to u for $10. would i really want to buy it back from you for $20?
2 :
it won't works surely! the shipping cost is enough to make up the price difference even if you do not ship them back but sell them directly in the local market, then you have to pay tax when importing and pay tax again when exporting is that clear?
3 :
That depends. If you are in China, you pay cash to buy the products. It's not export. You don't spend extra shipping costs. This may work. If you import and then resell back, your cost will be greatly increased. This may not work.
4 :
I think it's a bright idea. And it might work - you could use drop ship technology (no shipping, goods never leave China). You could study the market and see whether buy-sale pair prices (for certain goods) differ. For instance, you can subscribe to Trade Alerts (free service - e.g. here: http://fon.gs/ali2 ) to receive current offers by email. By setting up free account, you can act either as a buyer or a seller and try to find the niche. I've been using trade alerts for getting cheap goods from China for further auctioning at Ebay, but your idea is much better - since goods won't leave China. Thanks for making me think, guess I'll try to explore the opportunities :)

Sulking politicians who didn't win the election focus on these points in order to criminalise and scrutinise the current US government in order to gain the upper hand in the next election - yet people honestly believe these politicians have the interests of common people in their hearts - the best and oldest joke in political history, sad thing is people fall for it EVERY TIME. There are far more intricate mechanisms in the United States government, but opposing political groups focus on the simple stuff that the common people can easily understand, for example instead of pointing out China is bailing America's ass out and keeping inflation down with cheaper products, politicians focus on the cheap products are "not made in America". It's like Lenin who created the simple yet effective slogan of "bread peace work", tricked the entire Russian population into his sleeves in an instant, and gave rise to the Japanese empire that will eventually claim millions of lives in WWII. Some may not like to hear it, but those that don't are being exploited by "popular politics", while having no insight into the real problems of the American government whatsoever. That and it's easier to criticise some country on the other side of the world than admitting responsibility for their own problems, it's like the world's politically-active citizens are a bunch of raving children that can be distracted by just one candy cane to do whatever their manipulative parents told them to do. All in all, those who think they know politics in fact, doesn't have a clue about it at all, or THEY would've been elected into the US government by now, they're just sulking and blaming because they feel they're not in control of their fates, and is blaming the lot that are in control.

If China can put stimulus money up and make a success of it?
Why didn't our government handle the stimulus money the same way? China did not bail out banks and give it to corporations to waste. They built roads, airports, made major infrastructure changes.

Are we always destined to follow the bad examples in history instead of paying attention to processes that have worked and really making a change for the better?

The real stimulus would have been to give the Trillions back to the People, then we would have real purchasing power and blow the economy through the roof.

It depends on where you'll be teaching. Most of the time, you make enough to be able to live there, but little in savings. Usually people go abroad and teach for experience. I'm also thinking about it, but not for the teaching experience but for cultural experience. No you don't need to speak any chinese to teach, but knowing survival chinese may be beneficial for you. They'll probable put you into a class that understand english, but needs to improve it.
2 :
its true..because many countries did not courage their people to speak or learn in English..The country likes China which have largest regions and many language..mandarin and many more..I think if you teaching English in high educated region like Beijing..they have many people which are rich peoples and they want their children to have good communication in English..even all people know about the international language is English..therefore there is a good opportunity to them if they know the language..as conclusion, we can make money there if we have a good spot to open the English classes or tuition maybe..
3 :
If you are qualified, you can make enough to live reasonably well, but no one ever got rich by teaching. You need more than just an accent though. Legally, you require a full bachelor's degree and a teaching qualification. There are illegal jobs, but illegal immigrants get paid even less.
4 :
I'm teaching English in Guangzhou, China now. So does my friend. She took The TESL course in the USA. The school she went to found her a job. So She went to China. She got into a 1 year contract with the school and after 3 months she "ESCAPED". It was not easy. And the people she escaped from were not happy. She was working up to 40 hours and more. But her days were 10 hours long. You only get paid for the time you teach. You can get paid for only 20-30 hours teaching and work 40 hours. After a break She then started to teach independently. My first time in China I went for 6 months. 2 weeks in China and My Friend tells me she can't teach a class and would I do it? I have never taught an English class and I never took the TESL course. Long story short... I did the class and before you know it I was teaching other classes and doing private tutoring. Making $21-$35 US Dollars per hour. To teach at a institute or an ENGLISH SCHOOL you will need a certificate. Or a BA. They may assist you at the school. If you take your TESL class in the USA the school will be able to place you. But you should know the pay is very low. Or what I think is low. Could be around 8000 Yuan per month. They will most likely give you a place to stay (2000-2500 YUAN) and a work Visa. Some help with airfare. You can live on this. It should not be a problem. But if you enjoy your freedom you would benefit from independent teaching. People will pay you to sit in Starbucks and just talk with them for an hour. Or to teach at you home. OXFORD ENGLISH http://www.oxfordseminars.com/?gclid=CLX… ENGLISH FIRST http://www.englishfirst.com/index.html What ever you do just know that if you get into a contract you are stuck. You are going to have to follow their schedule. Many do it. I ended up just finding jobs on the side. There are many small owned companies that find teachers for public schools. Granted, I was lucky to have my girlfriend already established and contacts at my disposal. The minimum pay for "UNDER THE TABLE" work is 150 Yuan/hour=$21.00 USA. You will not find that at ENGLISH FIRST, OXFORD or any place your TESL school will place you at. On Average your pay will come to 75-100rmb/H after you figure in all the time you spend at the school preparing and you travel time to school and back. Then there is the Pecking order. A Female will do much better teaching English. White and Blonde just raises it higher. White male is next. This may sound racist. But it's just how it is. It's China. They are not the most PC in the world. So during my first 6 months I worked 18-22 hours a week. Some classes I made $30/hour. 84 hours a month 16,000 Yuan a month. This is the high end. As of March 2010... Now I'm at 13,000//rmb per month. My advice for anyone who wants to teach English in China would be this. If you know a person or have a contact... and you have Confidence you can go to China and Teach English without a TESL. Or get you TESL and find a contact. Someone who can help you get settled in. Get a network of English speaking friends and I guarantee you will have job offers. I'm now on my second tour of teaching in Guangzhou, China. I'm at 19 hours a week. I have several classes at my home and others at Private locations. I also teach part time with a "company" They do also recruit people from the states and other English speaking countries. Again they asked me nothing about BA or TESL. I teach on Wed and Fri mornings for them. 4 classes each day from 8:40am to 11:55am. Each class is only 40 min long. 100/rmb per class. ( that equals 150/h ) On Average I make 200/rmb per hour. I have some classes that pay 250/rmb per hour. I also have a few friends that are getting 300-350/rmb per hour. Guangzhou has many rich people that want to better their English or their children's English. But, yes... getting the TESL and having a BA will ensure that you will be able to get a job under contract options. UPDATE... I was just recruited to do full time at a Private company like EF, OXFORD, and WALL STREET. They needed a teacher. But I told them I have too many other classes on my own. So they have given my 10 classes a week. 1 hour classes teaching adults. Each class pays 150/rmb for each our. I was told by the other 2 full time teachers at this school that what I get paid is more than what they get paid over all for being full time. Yes, they get an apartment paid for them and help with a visa. But they have to be at the school for 40 hours a week. They work from 1pm to 9pm. Since this school is for adults those hours our more conducive to the adult life style. I have written this answer a few times on YAHOO. I have 'Helped" a few people. 2 Australians contacted me some 10 months ago on YAHOO Q and A and are now in Guangzhou teaching 15-20 hours a week making 10,000/rmb and up. No contracts what so ever and they have a ton of free time to enjoy CHINA

enough to live comfortably IN china, but when u go back to your own country, shrink that money by 7 to 10 times, u will have nothing left. you will get SPIRITUALLY rich though with the experience.
6 :
I was a teacher in China and feel they pay you a very good salary for what you do . They pay you more than they pay the Chinese teachers doing the same teaching that you will be doing. You will be teaching upper level students so you will not need to know Chinese. Most schools hope to have American teachers but often settle for British English teachers. You will enjoy your time in China The Chinese people are wonderful. Be careful the government is not the greatest.
7 :
I paid off my debts while living in China. I make roughly $1000 a month, but my apartment, internet, electricity and school food are all free. So its essentially $1000 cash in pocket a month, which is better than I was doing in America. You won't get rich, but you can build up a little.
8 :
You'll make the most money in South Korea.
9 :
You can definitely make enough money to support yourself and save some money as an English teacher in China. However, compared to salaries in Taiwan or South Korea, China is lagging BUT is catching up quickly. Also, the cost of living in China is still significantly lower than Taiwan or Korea. In regard to you other question, no you do not need to know Chinese in order to teach English. In fact, it is almost better that you don't speak any Chinese as most schools enforce a strict English immersion environment. Good luck!

The Chinese government hopes that their tremendous monetary outlay and the world looking in at China, will result in promoting interest in China and bring massive new business to the Chinese economy, as well as greatly increased tourism.
12 :
There are so many ways China makes money. First the obvious: Hotel, restaurants, museums, landmarks, or anything that requires admission to get in either goes straight to China or they tax it and get money that way. Then the less obvious: Selling the rights to broadcast the Olympics to every country that wants to buy in, advertising, new landmarks like the Birds Nest that people will want to go to in the future, and hopefully they can create an image that makes people want to travel there, live there, and or start businesses there. The financial pluses will last for years to come.
13 :
Not only does it cost money ticket wise for viewers, but the television broadcasters need to pay to get exclusive (or not so exclusive) rights to the footage in each country. Also, TOURISM is a major draw card. Immigration numbers sky rocket for over a year surrounding the Olympics, obviously peaking around the Olympics!! Also, product rights, like those little toys, Nini etc... Yep, lots of ways =]

China sets up a Free Trade Zone in Uganda, How are they going to make money off this?

China sets up a Free Trade Zone in Uganda, How are they going to make money off this?
The deal is 500km worth of land with it's own legislative powers. The lease term is 99 years. How is exactly does China plan to make money out of this? Will Chinese companies outsource to this FTZ? Or do they have some sort of tax set up on the FTZ and collect it? How did Britain make money off Hong Kong?

What makes you think that the only China is interested in is the profit motive? Comparing Uganda to Hong Kong is a misdirection of the first water.
2 :
Hong Kong wasn't just a FTZ, it was a fully colonised area under the jurisdiction of the "Commonwealth", as it were. The Chinese refused to import opium, and under your "democratic free trade", Britain openly captured Hong Kong and the Qing government was forced to sign it to the British. The Chinese weren't able to say much about it, what with guns of every assortment and size pointed in their faces. Hong Kong acted as the British root on Chinese soil, and where Britain used as their dock for their navies, as well as untaxed trade to the Chinese. Other than that other European nations who wished to trade there were forced to pay high taxes? How the hell were you able to compare the two examples? Since the establishment of the PRC the Chinese government helped many African nations, sending expert medical teams, aid supplies and such, so China is actually in close relationship with many African nations. Contrary to CNN's blatant effort to demonise everything China does, not all things done are bad. Ohhhhh so if China established a FTZ they intended to use it for serious profits, and if they rented some other part of the world it's sure to be used for a massive nuclear missile silo, because that is all they do, right?

My guess is they will make use of the lower cost of labor there.

China is expanding into areas that were previously rural and increasing the value of it's infrastructure in areas that are urban. So the answer would be expansion.

China just set up it's own special economic zone in uganda. China gets legislative rights in the zone. How exactly is that going to make them money? Taxes?
Economics - 3 Answers
Random Answers, Critics, Comments, Opinions :
1 :
The special economic zone was set up by Uganda in recognition that private enterprise requires a number of laws and rules be in place to protect the rights of investors so that they are willing to invest. Often countries that are not yet ready to implement laws across the entire country that are sufficient to encourage private investment, are willing to do so in a designated zone. The fact that China gets legislative rights in the zone (something I am not aware of) would mean that China gets to implement the specific laws that they find most conducive to doing business, so I think that we can assume that the laws will be favorable in many regards. Even if Uganda retained a taxing authority outside the legislative rights, perhaps by veto rights, it would be great for China to be able to set up a system of laws and an enforcement mechanism that it was familiar with and felt was appropriate for optimizing their investments in the region.
2 :
China gets cheap and reliable supply of minerals or other raw materials from that country.
3 :
Look at Hong Kong during british rule. It's the ultimate way to build an empire. They will tax them and probably build a military base there.

Is america a piece of shit? Time to leave?

Is america a piece of shit? Time to leave?
Repressive on private life. Can't even pay a whore to suck me off, have to pay 20 and spend 6 hours at a bar pandering to some bitch. Law enforcement like a bitch, ubiquitous, not to the producers. 'EVERYONE IS EQUAL HERE' fags. Small bussiness, its getting too repressive...yea, higher taxes in europe, but I can spend under 6 months making money there without being tax resident (4 months for US), and then travel to other places in luxury hotels and it would probably cost me the same as the faggy 35% taxes in the states. Dubai, China, France...all trying to attract producers....not repressive to private life to those foreigners..don't give a fuck, you supply them a steady stream of productivity, why the hell should they care. People keep on talking about the american dream...More like the american fuckin nightmare...can't even take advantage of my 6 million dollar home due to fuckin enviromentalists...Fuck the US, im dumping my treasury bonds cutting a deal with People's republic of China for yuan so that when its allowed to float in 7 years (yes, the doubling time, when it will catch to the US's current size...surprise surprise...yes, they will do that) I make like 40 percent on my money overnight, makes up for the reduced income prior....meantime I go back into dollars as interest rate skyrockets and destroys the stockmarket.. Fuck, what shoult I care...its not like anyone in the US did anything for me. They just wanted to break me down. Fvck the fvcks, they don't want me Ill be leavin, ill start my multinantional overseas in dubai, its not like the US is anything special anyway. Once they have a reduced standard of living maybe they will have some gad damn humility and allow me to pay to get sucked off...the gall man, fvcks.. do you really think this can last,...what you take for granted??....lol...Ill see you up ahead. Don't think so? lol... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F-QA2rkpBSY your up for a rude awakening...bitches...Maybve you will learn to APPRECIATE once the shit hits the fan...I bet you will....youll be sucking off really fast then.

The problem with America is that it's very shallow. The media in general is very shallow, it looks good but isn't. the truth is that the world is ruled by the entertainment business. All presidents do is try to incorporate rules, which, in the end, do very little. Entertainment however, influences people more than they know. But, there's nothing more pointless than talking about everything bad, which everyone knows anyway. no good comes of getting worked up over stuff like this. the outcome is inevitable, no point in trying to stop it. might as well enjoy life as it comes, and while it lasts, rather than dying an irritated old man

Clinton Gore campigned and recieved money from Charley Tre,Buddist monks.?
1996 United States campaign finance controversy From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation, search President Clinton with convicted fund-raiser Charlie TrieThe 1996 United States campaign finance controversy was an alleged effort by the People's Republic of China (PRC) to influence domestic American politics prior to and during the Clinton administration and also involved the fund-raising practices of the administration itself. While questions regarding the U.S. Democratic Party's fund-raising activities first arose over a Los Angeles Times article published on September 21, 1996,[1] My question to all you Eviromentalists is Why is Al Gore Leader of your movement mandate law that we can only buy incandesent light bulbs with the only producer being CHINA?, Why can't the US make them, and isn't this outsourcing?

First, I think your mistaken about Al Gore's concern with the environment. Otherwise, why would he push for a light bulb that contains MERCURY to replace the incandescent lamp? As for illegal campaign contributions, from sworn to poverty monks and nums, the Clintons want you to forget.
2 :
Gore is a liar and a charlatan! He stands to make tons of money if the majority of America falls for his Green push. Just remember this as a rule of thumb...if celebrities support it, it's probably bogus. I do agree that we could make this bulb cheaper and more efficiently than the Chinese but then the Clinton/Gore's main contributor would lose funds. Pretty capitalist like for a bunch of commies. Hypocrites!

What do you think of Trump's China book recommended reading list (look inside)?

What do you think of Trump's China book recommended reading list (look inside)?
I would like to hear everyone's opinion (50-centers and real people) on Donald Trump's China reading list. Does the negative theme of these books reflect the American public's perception of China and the Chinese? Or would you consider these books essential reading to understanding China and Chinese culture? http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/washington/2011/05/donald-trump-i-understand-the-chinese-mind.html BEIJING -- Following his call for a 40% tariff on Chinese-made goods, prospective Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump backed up his proposed trade war with China by revealing his 20 favorite books about China which, Trump said, helped shaped his political and economic outlook on the Communist republic. "I've read hundreds of books about China over the decades," Trump said in a recent interview with Xinhua, the official press agency of the People's Republic of China. "I know the Chinese. I've made a lot of money with the Chinese. I understand the Chinese mind." When later asked if he would care to list some of his favorite books about China, the billionaire mogul, an author himself of numerous books, proceeded to recite by memory his top twenty. Here they are in the order in which they were named: 1. The Party by Richard McGregor 2. On China by Henry Kissinger 3. Mao: The Untold Story by Jung Chang 4. Tide Players by Jianying Zha 5. One Billion Customers by James McGregor 6. The Coming China Wars by Peter W. Navarro 7. The Beijing Consensus by Stefan Halper 8. China CEO by Juan Antonio Fernandez and Laurie Underwood 9. Poorly Made in China by Paul Midler 10. CHINA: Portrait of a People by Tom Carter 11. The Man Who Loved China by Simon Winchester 12. China Shakes the World by James Kynge 13. Mr. China by Tim Clissold 14. Country Driving by Peter Hessler 15. The Dragon's Gift by Deborah Brautigam 16. Factory Girls by Leslie T. Chang 17. The Heavenly Man by Brother Yun 18. 1421 by Gavin Menzies 19. Seven Years in Tibet by Heinrich Harrer 20. Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother by Amy Chua Apparently the American public is as interested in hearing about Donald Trump's reading habits as much as his political platform. Polls show that he is presently the leading candidate for the GOP ticket. Trump says he will make a formal decision about running for president in May following the season finale of his popular reality television show, Celebrity Apprentice. Source: Xinhua .

Welllll, I definetly recommend #20. Being Chinese, I totally understand, but all the stuff Americans say about China is bias. Communism is not as bad as people say it is. It provides order, and made China the great power it is today, especially economy wise-which is capitalist controlled by a communist government, showing that communism beats democracy in that sense. But, China should raise their money value, it IS way too low, $1 - about 6.5 RMB. It sure would help out the world economy

You have confused yourself. Over spending by Congress has been going on for 70 years. Lowered tax rates have generated more in total tax dollars. The problem is too much spending by the federal government. Repeat that sentence out loud for 100 time is a row. It may sink in.

Beautiful way to totally confuse a question. Your numbers only refer to foreign debt. The majority of treasury bonds are held in the US. US treasury bonds are the most secure investment in the world. Other countries don't buy them to do us a favor. They buy them because they're a better investment than their own bonds.

There are know tax cuts to pay for. Peace
5 :
The government has to borrow money to feed its spending addiction. It has this addiction because spending appeases voters in the short-term. Unfortunately, tightening the belt is always put off "just a few more years". Such lack of long-term (or even medium-term) sight leads to disaster.
