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.

the U.S Govt can't control so much

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?

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.

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.
