They make long term investments. They are on track to control energy technology.

In our business model, investors are looking for immediate profits, and are not coordinating to build new opportunities for long-term gain.

I'm not endorsing China-style economics. I am pointing out that we need to better our own game if we want to be competitive in the long run.
