It's interesting - but where is the best High-end Audio made? You don't see Asian labels - certainly not from China.

And when it comes to Cars - same thing holds. They make great everyday cars, but the winners...over and over again are the U.S. and Europe (German, Italian, etc.).

It seems to me that innovation and 'the - next - thing' are still a domain of the U.S. and even Europe. We don't see the next thing coming out of China - yet. Eventually - but not now.

So - Zenith died because innovation at Zenith died. And that's the moral of the story. We are at our best when we set the direction.

Truth be told - our Asian friends have been better at building what we invent better than we build it ourselves. Kenwood anyone?
