Comments on: China to blame for rising oil prices? http://www.chinacartimes.com/2008/07/29/china-to-blame-for-rising-oil-prices/ Explaining the Chinese Car Industry and Chinese Cars Thu, 08 Jan 2009 18:48:39 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.2.2 By: Rick in China http://www.chinacartimes.com/2008/07/29/china-to-blame-for-rising-oil-prices/#comment-57502 Rick in China Tue, 05 Aug 2008 07:32:41 +0000 http://www.chinacartimes.com/2008/07/29/china-to-blame-for-rising-oil-prices/#comment-57502 @ "the truth and facts..." re: "market system" 1) US hasn't exactly "controlled" oil supply by invading Iraq, in fact, it's a large reason why there are skyrocketing oil prices. It was an economic disaster. 2) China is creating another economic disaster, domestically, by heavily subsidizing oil prices to "fuel the fire" so to speak - when they jack the price of Oil to match the world market price it will infuriate many consumers and business dependent on oil for manufacturing and such alike. Subsidizing so drastically rather than allowing for natural market value to slow down the economy to match the world's economy resulting from skyrocketing oil prices wouldn't have been such a bad idea. It's interesting your immediate response to an article such as this (which is intended to point out some facts, as well as the ignorant opinion of Engler) is a very defensive one, pointing out the mistakes of another country. Actually - I've been here long enough to restate that, it's not that interesting at all. :) @ “the truth and facts…”
re: “market system”
1) US hasn’t exactly “controlled” oil supply by invading Iraq, in fact, it’s a large reason why there are skyrocketing oil prices. It was an economic disaster.
2) China is creating another economic disaster, domestically, by heavily subsidizing oil prices to “fuel the fire” so to speak - when they jack the price of Oil to match the world market price it will infuriate many consumers and business dependent on oil for manufacturing and such alike.

That being said, at what point does the Chinese government think the strategic shift to car manufacturing stops making sense. Cars do have a number of externalities that are expensive (road upkeep, parking, environmental, social, safety, energy security) it is journalists confusing chinese potential (enormous) with the current state (Chinese car market is about the size of Ohio).

At first, it was irritating, then it became infuriating, now it's just comical. Go ahead and blame China for everything, including that fact that you’re not getting any.

Only the Europeans and Americans deserve that right and privilege.....blah, blah, blah. Get a life Mr. Engler... As I see it the Chinese are working hard to start their auto industry off on a green footing. How dare those Chinese enjoy the fruits of their labor.
