Jeff ,   USA   (05.23.14)
They'll steal everything you've invented and mass-produce it (like they've done with everything else)... have fun with that.
3. Go slowly Israel
Arnold-Canada ,   Montreal   (05.24.14)
We all have seen how jobs and manufacturing have slipped away to Asia. I am glad of the trade ties between China and Israel. Especially in light of the BDS movement which must be about to say kaddish at this point. Because of the mega bucks available Israel needs to stand firm and make sure they do not give away the cow with the milk.
4. Welcome to the Future
Joe Mevorah ,   Lincoln, USA   (05.23.14)
As America's dominance diminishes, Israel, just like any other nation adjusts. As Europe continues to play BDS games Israel reacts. There is no crystal ball when it comes to economic or political decisions. Instead pragmatism dictates the rules. The 21st century will adjst to the Asian nations who have become economic giants. Israel has found new partners in China, Japan, and South Korea. Its dependence on the U.S. will lessen.
5. China and Israel
Sjoerd van der Velde ,   Hoorn, Holland   (05.23.14)
The present, terror, dictatorial, criminal, one-party regime in Beijing (Peking) and the people of/in/from China also can be attracted by the system of governance in Jerusalem and by the society, life and community of the people in Israel, to learn about liberty, freedom, a just and correct human rights-policy and democracy, to name something and take an example and benefit from that. So the present, entire inhuman, dictatorial world can learn, in that case, from the free and democratic world. For example, also, Israel, forever, ever and always! May G.d bless the Jewish people and Israel too!

7. Ah yes, the old "giant market" trick
spyguy ,   seattle usa   (05.23.14)
Before you sign on the dotted line, read the fine print. Under Chinese law, no non-Chinese person or company can own more than 49% of any entity doing business in China. The contract will also require almost complete transfer of technology and IP. Then there is the termination clause where the Chinese partner gets to terminate the relationship at any time for any reason with no compensation to the non-Chinese "partner." Just talk to all the "smart" US business people that have blindly walked in this trap and ended up with nothing. In REALITY there is no Chinese market for non-Chinese companies because the Chinese culture means people buy ONLY from Chinese firms. Look at China's 5000 year history of mercantilism. There is a very good reason why there are significant Chinese populations spread throughout Asia. Israel is going to get severely burned by China and deeply regret screwing over the Europeans and Americans. This is going to be so much fun watching the Israelis get taken to the cleaners by the Chinese. Holst on your own Petard much?
8. # 2 who don't steal especially USA!
Calibi ,   Sydney Aust   (05.24.14)
For Israel if the Jews can be beaten by the Chinese that is God's will. And I believe if anyone in this world if given an upper hand they will by force or by treaty take advantage on others. I never understand the Latin American hatred of the yankees until I saw a documentary in Australia about US conspiracy against them for economic gain. I'm not pro China and is true that China do steal so is USA except USA and European is legal and others including Israel is illegal to steal! Once I asked a Chinese professor why do China steal wide spread and not feel shame about it? He reply, " why should we, fireworks never change its form till now when we first invented more than 3,000yr ago" And he added, "in truth and reality all western nation shamefully owe us the royalty to this year and never pay a cent" How the white man steal from the Jews and then turn the table around and claim that Jews were and are rich because they stole/steal to this day? I heard all these comment yr in yr out. The only way Israel can be that stupid is if they only live by the left brain and the leftist ideology. However is natural that she have to play the balance game and pray to their GOD of Abraham, I &J for wisdom. Israel cannot sit down and do nothing. Can you remember Obama USA throw the sole of his shoe to BiBi in the world media? Who knows one day America may stab the back of the Jews? In the mean time get close to the Chinese and Mossadize into the Chinese society because Chinese people love the Jews. (end)
9. The days of American economic power has come to a crashing
Al   (05.25.14)
end and that is due to the dumbing down of their nation. 70% of American HS graduates have no math skills. Their language skills in the only language they speak is minimal at best. They are inarticulate, dumb lazy and entitled. The Americans have abdicated their manufacturing base in soft goods and soon hard goods to the Chinese. Today China is moving towards greater and greater manufacturing capabilities. They need the technology which only the highly skilled and educated Israeli tech centers can provide. Its a win win for Israel.
10. No Chance
Ken ,   Australia   (05.26.14)
Under no circumstances should the Chinese have the ability to control, anything regarding the Israeli food industry. No chance mo way are they going to control the Jewish food bowl, we have experience with Chinese and food, they destroy everything when it comes to food, trust me, Chinese can not do food, Your milk, no way no chance.
