The New York Times is running an article entitled, "Chinese Creating New Auto Niche within Detroit." The article begins, "Dozens of companies from China are putting down roots in Detroit, part of the country’s steady push into the American auto industry."
Questions for Discussion:
1. What can we learn about the Chinese from the fact that they are entering the American auto production market? Is this good or bad for the economy of the world? Explain!
2. The article states, "Chinese auto companies are assiduously avoiding the spotlight. " What does this mean? Based on the information in the article, why do you think this is the case?
3. What can we learn from this statement, "Typical of the Chinese expansion are the nondescript offices of Changan Automotive in an industrial park in the suburban city of Plymouth"? Do you think that this is important information to know? Why or why not?
4. If you could develop one thing that should be part of all cars within ten years, what would you develop? Why?
5. How will transportation in one hundred years be different than it is today? Do you think that this is realistic? Why or why not?
