Soros, Strong, Chinese Cars

Communism gains foothold in Detroit masquerading as big business

Lenin must be laughing from his Red Square coffin and Sam McLaughlin must be crying in his. Communism--successfully fought off by the west--has advanced Full Square into the United States of america--masquerading as big business.

Communist China's Chery cars, at the moment on a worldwide company recall because of a faulty wire, are going to be built in Detroit for sales worldwide.

Cherys, rolling off the assembly line in Wuhu, China, have found a new home in Detroit, Michigan.

The dwindling days of 2006 brought largely mainline media-ignored news of an ambitious scheme between Chrysler aG's Chrysler Group and China's Chery automobile Co.

Canadian Maurice Strong and american George Soros, who last year partnered on a plan to flood the american market with 250,000 Cherys beginning in 2007, must have had a crystal ball.

Chery, Detroit The original Strong-Soros initiative was to flood the american market with cars built in China.

The new Cherys, the global "poor man's wheels", will be designed jointly by Chery and Chrysler with Chrysler taking the lead. The cars would then come off the assembly line to be sold as a Chrysler Group brand, either Chrysler, Jeep or Dodge, said Chrysler spokesman Jason Vines. Chery will build tiny cars known in the industry as "B-cars", but it also may build something larger for Chrysler, Vines added.

The Chery car deal boosts the anti-american crusades of Strong, environmental crusader and United Nations Poster Boy and Soros, who bankrolled the Chinese deal to the tune of $200-million.

Strong, who lobs brickbats at the U.S. from the safety of China these days, stepped down from the board of directors at Toyota to be an "environmental advisor" for China's Chery.

So influential is Strong at Chery, it was through Strong's Chinese office, that Chery officially declined to make any of its executives available for media interviews.

For Canadians who see this as a U.S. problem, Chairman Mo has the distribution rights to sell Cherys in Canada.

Mr. Strong boasts that North americans will eventually be driving Chinese-built cars. Make that Chinese cars built on american soil.

"The Chinese recognize the automobile industry has always been a major factor in any industrialized country and they are aspiring to be the largest producer in the world," said Strong. (Jason Kirby, Financial Post, Sept. 16, 2006).

The deal needs to be approved by Chrysler's supervisory board, which meets next month, and by the Communist Chinese government.

Chrysler has been seeking a Chinese partner to build small cars, saying it cannot make money by building them in the United States due to high labor and other costs.

"We can't build one here in that segment. You can't make money on it. That's why we need a partner," Vines said.

"The move gives Chrysler a relatively quick entry into a growing segment of the car market where it now has no significant product, and it prepares the company in case gasoline prices escalate again to above $3 per gallon, said David Cole, chairman of the Center for automotive Research in ann arbor." (Tom Krisher, associated Press, Dec. 29, 2006).

The 81-year-old Chrysler, founded by Walter P. Chrysler, which merged with Daimler-Benz in 1998, has become the Wal-Mart of the auto industry.

Not only does the Chery deal help Chrysler in the U.S., but it also gives the company small vehicles to sell in growing global markets such as India and China.

Coming down the pike is Malcolm Bricklin's Visionary Vehicles, which is now actively pursuing other Chinese manufacturers and which will be announcing an agreement soon.

Originally, Chery had plans to begin exporting vehicles in the U.S. as early as next year in a joint venture with Visionary Vehicles, but that deal fell through in November.

Prospective buyers can look over the new car when the Chrysler prototype is unveiled "fairly soon", although no actual date has been set.

Production will not start until sometime after 2007, Vines said.

Chrysler would not say how many cars Chery would be built and it would not reveal the financial terms of the agreement.

Perhaps Strong and Soros, hardly shrinking violets in the ego department, will fill in the details.

The Chrysler agreement with Chery also helps Chery by giving it access to design, engineering and manufacturing skills that it doesn't currently have.

That is likely to save General Motors from any further litigation on suspicions that Chery is allegedly stealing their designs.

a letter to the editor at Canada Free Press concludes. "Oh look, our Communist Chinese friends are going to sell us new cars at great prices! Notice the comment that GM can't "make money" by building cars in the USa because of high labor costs. What part of T-r-e-a-s-o-n don't' we understand? Khrushchev (or was it Lenin?) was right. americans would bid on the rope used to hang themselves. Enjoy driving your Cherys, folks…while you can."

Meanwhile, when historians record how communism finally gained entry to the West, corporations not government will be the ones to blame.
