That's absolutely true, I wouldn't have bought any products from Germany between 1933 and 1945, either!

We have to be really thankful for the wise and long-sighted thinking of the USA and France/GB after WW2.

 

Today, China is the criminal state trying to tempt the short-sighted economy to invest into them (they don't need a Marshall plan, if I remember correctly, the USA alone invested over 2000billion$ over the past two decades!), not even being a state under the rule of law leading to massive corruption and industrial spying.

 

The companies you mentioned are big names, Intel is propably the most important semiconductor-company in the world (high R&D) but many other names rely heavily on the military sector or are only important to the stock-market (GE was basically killed by Jack Welch's idea of shareholder-value, destroyed most of the technological-background and tenthousands jobs in the US, I don't even want to start with a company like Microsoft...) A good friend of mine works for a US-american company which manufactures electronics for the oil-industry in Germany. They rely on highly-trained workers of a famous consumer-electronics-company which wasn't able to survive against cheap crap and powerful dealers. These skills would have been lost and now we are used to lower quality standards in consumer electronics already. This will go further and further if we don't stop short-sighted thinking and low-wage-slave-labour...

 

But you have to protect the standard of German workers to keep your own standard, as much we have to care right now about the things that happen in Detroit or compromising standards of other American workers! It 's not about nationality, it's about standards and social classes all over the world. Even the chinese working class doesn't profit from the shareholder-value-based, short-sighted thinking, in the end, even the "upper classes" will face serious problems (many already do).
