RK: . . . I am not accusing the AFL-CIO of leading the charge to privatize.
What I am saying is that if annualized review is maintained, then the US
capitalist state can exert ever greater pressure to speed up privatization
(there is surely reluctance to go at the pace the US would like) and to
ensure that foreign buyers (instead of corrupt party insiders) can get what
they want (which may mean overuse of foreign inputs and repatriation of
profits in the long run).
mbs: don't be slippery. you quoted O'Connor approvingly
to the effect that membership would open China up to more,
not less, pressure, and you evidently see any such pressure
from the U.S. as Bad. So why aren't you opposed to China
entry into the WTO?
