Then you say that heavy equipment in the US sells a lot to China, which in no way backs up your original statement. China does not buy a lot of US made equipment because they buy Chinese made equipment. Now you claim that US companies are building their equipment in China. You really have no clue. How does it go from China using a lot of American made heavy equipment to US companies building their equipment in China and sending it back here? And how's that benefiting the US? Wouldn't Peoria be better off if they kept all the jobs there?
Maybe you should have RIROCKHOUND's new baby do your googling for you. It's bound to be better than whatever you're doing.

There are many companies that sell heavy equipment in China, some are Chinese, some are Korean, some are Japanese, some are American. That a company like CAT doesn't dominate the market is irrelevant to the point at hand unless you want to parse a single word to to make trouble.
Quite simply, assembly in China doesn't mean there aren't thousands and thousands more here in the US involved in design and planning.
Do you seriously lake the fundamentals of how a global manufacturing business operates? It sure sounds like you do.
