I've been reading these posts today, and I have not seen this important
thing mentioned.
China is a socialist communist country, the govt. controls everything.
They do not have any independent companies that mfr. and sell products around the world.
Other countries such as Japan, US, and most of the rest of the world, have free enterprise,
capitalism, and so each company is free to do things as they please.
As mentioned above, tell me about a China company that sells products
under its own name worldwide ?

Lots of 'em. Lenovo to begin with. But saying that the Chinese aren't going to continue buying companies around the world because theirs is a communist economy is...wishful thinking. Their economy is opening up gradually and it would be in our interest to continue to recognize that the chinese are going to continue to expand their presence.
Leica or one of the other optical companies could very well end up being sold to a Chinese firm if the price us right and the buyers have the interest. The Volvo sale is not exactly new news.
Parts of this thread are beginning to read like the xenophobic nonsense directed at the Japanese manufacturers in the late 1940's and 1950's. We all know what happened to some complacent industries.
