VERBATIM
Jeffrey Immelt, Chairman and CEO of General Electric and Chairman of
the White House Council on Jobs and Competitiveness was interviewed by
Charlie Rose on Bloomberg Television Monday evening. When asked about
China, Immelt praised the Chinese and their centrally planned economy:
CHARLIE ROSE: China is changing. It may
be being stabilized as we speak. What does that mean for China and what
does it mean for the United States? Should it change expectations?
JEFF IMMELT: It is good for China. To a
certain extent, Charlie, 11 percent is unsustainable. You end up getting
too much stimulus or a misallocation of resources. They are much better
off working on a more consumer-based economy, less dependent on
exports. The one thing that actually works, state run communism a bit–
may not be your cup of tea, but their government works.
