Nederland verlangt inhoudelijkheid.....

.... maar zijn we zelf bereid ons er daadwerkelijk in te verdiepen?

Neem de.... ik weet ff niet hoe het heet....de globalisering... het is weg, foetsie van de politieke agenda. Terwijl Fujitsu toch een bekend merk is in de globalisering. ;)
Maar goed er zijn nog anti-globaliseringsmarsen zoals Edinburgh in de zomer van 2005.

Maar als je globalisering definieert als "Globalisation or globalization is an umbrella term for a complex series of economic, social, technological, cultural and political changes seen as increasing interdependence, integration and interaction between people and companies in disparate locations." dan is China het volgende land dat met de anti globaliseringsbeweging of andersglobaliseringbeweging te maken krijgt.

Wat het nu zo langzamerhand doet is de afhankelijkheid van Afrika weer groter maken door leningen te verstrekken van € 4 miljard. Dit is nog maar het begin. China heeft olie nodig en dat zal vast niet tegen marktconforme prijzen worden verkregen.

Wat te denken van een protestlied Union sundown van Bob Dylan. Dit zegt alles over wat globalisering is. Geen wonder dat de rijken in de quote 500 weer rijker zijn geworden. Beleggingsfondsen georiënteerd op China zijn 50% gestegen in ruim een jaar.

de songtekst "Union Sundown":
Well, my shoes, they come from Singapore,
My flashlight's from Taiwan,
My tablecloth's from Malaysia,
My belt buckle's from the Amazon.
You know, this shirt I wear comes from the Philippines
And the car I drive is a Chevrolet,
It was put together down in Argentina
By a guy makin' thirty cents a day.

Well, it's sundown on the union
And what's made in the U.S.A.
Sure was a good idea
'Til greed got in the way.

Well, this silk dress is from Hong Kong
And the pearls are from Japan.
Well, the dog collar's from India
And the flower pot's from Pakistan.
All the furniture, it says "Made in Brazil"
Where a woman, she slaved for sure
Bringin' home thirty cents a day to a family of twelve,
You know, that's a lot of money to her.

Well, it's sundown on the union
And what's made in the U.S.A.
Sure was a good idea
'Til greed got in the way.

Well, you know, lots of people complainin' that there is no work.
I say, "Why you say that for
When nothin' you got is U.S.-made?"
They don't make nothin' here no more,
You know, capitalism is above the law.
It say, "It don't count 'less it sells."
When it costs too much to build it at home
You just build it cheaper someplace else.

Well, it's sundown on the union
And what's made in the U.S.A.
Sure was a good idea
'Til greed got in the way.

Well, the job that you used to have,
They gave it to somebody down in El Salvador.
The unions are big business, friend,
And they're goin' out like a dinosaur.
They used to grow food in Kansas
Now they want to grow it on the moon and eat it raw.
I can see the day coming when even your home garden
Is gonna be against the law.

Well, it's sundown on the union
And what's made in the U.S.A.
Sure was a good idea
'Til greed got in the way.

Democracy don't rule the world,
You'd better get that in your head.
This world is ruled by violence
But I guess that's better left unsaid.
From Broadway to the Milky Way,
That's a lot of territory indeed
And a man's gonna do what he has to do
When he's got a hungry mouth to feed.

Well, it's sundown on the union
And what's made in the U.S.A.
Sure was a good idea
'Til greed got in the way.
