I listen to The Wall Street Journal Report this morning at 5:30 AM CST with Maria Bartiromo, (eg http://www.cnbc.com/id/15838272 ) One of her guests was CEO of Pepsi, Indra Nooyi. Pepsi is investing in China by building 12 new plants to server the Chinese people. This is on top of many, many plants Pepsi has already create in China. The capital investment in China is necessary; because, the cold drink and snack food industry is not geared towards exporting to other country, but need to be local to the area served. For example, if you wanted to get into the auto repair business in China, you would need to invest in a local auto shop there and hire local auto repairment; because, it would not be feasible for you to ship the autos from China to the USA for repair.
Pepsi's desire to server the Chinese people with cold drinks and delicious snack foods requires capital investment in land, building, plants, and machinery in China's economy, and it create thousands of new jobs for the Chinese people. America should strive to be a country with a economic climate that would similar attract international investment. Although Pepsi is headquartered in the USA, it may have more capital investment in other locations around the world than it has in the USA. The Wall Street Journal Report will air again tomarrow morning, (eg Sunday) at 5:30 PM CST on KRBC, channel 9.1 here in Abilene. I own some stock in Pepsi, which I purchased back when the market was way down.
