@leedzenga Toyota Fortuner is on top of the list of the most hijacked Cars in South Africa. These hijacked cars are smuggle to Zimbabwe, Botswana, Zambia and Mozambique. Kwekwe now with the influx of unregistered vehicles probably is the destination of these cars.

Our taxes in Zambia are crazy.. Just how is a Toyota Fortuner worth over USD 80,000????
i think if we don't win Zambia should reclaim the Toyota fortuner and the zambian residency permit

Thanks for A2A. The reality of today’s world is that there is uneven economic development between countries, similar to the situation in the 19th Century between for example Britain and parts of Europe. In fact, the German economist Friedrich List in 1841 complained that Britain, having attained economic supremacy through high tariffs and extensive subsidies, wanted the rest of Europe to have free market and free trade by denying them the same path to achieve economic competence. This was just like ‘kicking away the ladder’ with which they had climbed to reach the world’s top economic position. Let me just quote what I wrote some time ago on trade policy…Made in China 2025. ‘The country’s trade policy has literally been the most protectionist in the world for the last few decades, with an average industrial tariff rate at 40-55%. The majority of the population cannot vote, and vote buying and electoral fraud are widespread. Corruption is rampant, with political parties selling government jobs to their financial backers. The country has never recruited a single civil servant through an open, competitive process. Its public finances are precarious, with government loan defaults that worry foreign investors. Despite this, it discriminates heavily against foreign investors. Especially in the banking sector, foreigners are prohibited from becoming directors while foreign shareholders cannot even exercise their voting rights unless they are resident in the country. It does not have a competition law, permitting cartels and other forms of monopoly to grow unchecked. Its protection of intellectual property rights is patchy, particularly marred by its refusal to protect foreigner’s copyrights.’ Do you know which country this refers to? This was the USA under Alexander Hamilton, who together with Benjamin Franklin’s protection of American manufacturing against ‘social dumping’ from Europe, managed to establish a manufacturing base in the USA. Don’t forget that at the time, US had a lot of available farmland and if the pay was not adequate the new migrants would have just dumped their jobs and go and do their farming as they used to do in their former home countries. Even Thomas Jefferson believed that patents were manifestly wrong because ideas are ‘like air’ and therefore should not be owned by anyone. So, there we are, the USA which was preaching free trade and free markets when they set up the WTO, went about saying ‘do as we say, not as we do’, to the countries in Africa or South Asia, or China etc. In the process, many of the policies advocated by the IMF or World Bank, while supposedly given the fact they extended loans to these countries, required that they follow the dictum they prescribed. In Zambia for example, its textile industry was decimated when the lowered tariffs led to large increases in imports of cheap second hand clothing from industrialised countries. The same thing happened with their agricultural sector when it was liberalised. Not all countries have succeeded through protectionism and subsidies but then few countries have succeeded without them. For those developing countries where free trade has been imposed on them by more powerful countries, it has mostly been unmitigated disaster. The best performers were those that opened up their economies selectively and gradually. Free trade & Free market in a neo-liberal sense has not really achieved fantastic growth for the economies which employed them, and in developing countries you need to nurture your own industries until they can compete internationally. Many of the best and well-known multinationals were initially home –grown and subsidized by their governments until they became successful. Examples abound – Singapore Airlines, Toyota, Samsung, Hyundai, Boeing, Semiconductor industries in US, Alcatel, Rhone Poulenc, Embraer, Petrobras, and Volkswagen. These were all related to or owned by the state. China has used a strategy similar to Taiwan, by providing a good economic environment to let the private sector grow using supply of cheap and high quality inputs by the public enterprises and then privatising some of the state owned enterprises as the private enterprise share of the economy grew. Some of the unique kind of enterprises involve a hybrid ownership of state owned town and village businesses which are formally owned by the local authorities but operate as if they are privately owned. Some of the political cadres with experience will run these enterprises. In many ways, this is a form of equity sharing among citizens. Public enterprises have often been set up to kick start capitalism and when there is a huge initial outlay and long gestation period, you can seldom get private entrepreneurs to invest in it, so the state has to lend a hand. Korea for example, controlled their scarce foreign exchange early on and in combination with a carefully designed list of priorities, ensured the money was used to import vital machinery and industrial inputs. It controlled foreign investment in many sectors in order to develop its own economic strength in designated sectors. And it certainly used reverse engineering and overlooked patents in its pirated products. Is it a free trade economy as far as the West is concerned? Well if it is, then Japan and China, using the same methods are also similar. Tariff and subsidies were not there to shield industries from international competition forever but to give them the time to incorporate new technologies and establish new organisational capabilities and efficiencies until they could compete in the world market. All of the developed countries used a similar path to get rich, policies which go against neo-liberal economics. Only the Netherlands and Switzerland did not use much protection but then they didn’t protect patents either. That grand democracy India doesn’t give a hoot for drug patents for example, so why did the West not take them to court. Do you seriously believe that Chinese Banks would ever see the light of day if China had liberalised its financial sector for example and allowed all the banks from the developed economies to come in when development started off. Chinese banks were so undeveloped in the early stages of their industrialisation that they would have been totally overwhelmed by the sheer resources and efficiencies of foreign competitors. Keeping foreign companies out certainly would have been a good thing for them until they were competitive enough. Thomas Friedman ( The Lexus and the Olive Tree), managed to prescribe a set of economic policies which he described as the “Golden Straitjacket”, a neo-liberal economic orthodoxy which was supposed to enable developing countries to catch up and be able to join the developed world. A one size fits all approach. Every country, he says, needs to privatise state-owned enterprises, maintain low inflation, reduce the size of government bureaucracy, balance the budget (if not running a surplus), liberalise trade, deregulate foreign investment, deregulate capital markets, make the currency convertible, reduce corruption and privatise pensions. The only path to success in the global economy. This mantra made its rounds in the free press and by its adoption those developing economies especially in Africa actually fared far worse than if they had practised more controlled tariff and protectionism for their own industries. In re-writing the history of the globalised world in a new light, the rich countries conveniently omitted the fact that they imposed free trade on weaker nations through colonialism, maintained high industrial tariffs, and practised protectionism. It is a fact that the USA through its protected industries became so competitive that it led to the decline of British economic supremacy. While the U.S.' tempestuous trade relationship with China has dominated the news, the world's largest economy is also harboring a disagreement with the landlocked African country of Rwanda over an unusual commodity — second-hand clothes. Rwanda risks losing the economic benefits of its membership of the U.S.' African Growth and Opportunity Act, which permits duty-free U.S. imports on 6,500 goods. In July 2016 Rwanda, along with Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda, hiked tariffs on imported second-hand garments, fearing that cheap clothes from abroad were threatening domestic manufacturing, but the latter three countries backed out in the face of the AGOA. So you see, the poor are often not very able to contend against the rich. The only way for China to compete effectively with the industrialised West was to adopt their manufacturing principles, technical know-how and management of the manufacturing process. There was therefore a trade off in that you get cheap Chinese labour to manufacture your products which enables you, the Western entrepreneur to obtain both more profits in sales at home as well as in the Chinese domestic market. There were never any serious complaints in the many early years in this form of cooperation and sharing of technology, until lately the USA decided that they had to do something to revive the fortunes of their manufacturing class, whose wages were not improving with the times. This is actually due to government and corporate manipulation, but that is a topic for another day. It is quite late in the day to start the manufacturing process for basic low end mass products all over again. The Western economies have been outsourcing their manufacturing for many decades. There is so much hullabaloo about IP theft and so on, and in fact many western enterprises have won their legal suits in Chinese courts increasingly over the years. In fact China pays 7.2 Billion USD in IP fees to USA as recent as 2017 out of a services deficit of 57.63 Billion USD but this is not mentioned at all in the MSM. Sometimes the media creates noise and to sieve through that noise requires a bit of filtering. For example this is an entry from a service company operating within China….. look at how the conversation goes… Does the U.S. have any proof that China is forcing U.S. companies to transfer its tech? Anonymous Answered Sep 8 Writing anonymously because it involves my current company and colleagues. I work for a high tech company headquartered in Cal. USA. Our company is a wholly owned foreign company operating in APAC, EMEA, including a large operation in 5 cities in China. Our business is one of the hot and competitive technology and we are one of the leaders in the field. Two days ago our global sales EVP, another sales VP for APJ and trade compliance officer were in China and hosting a leadership dinner in Shanghai. All of them are Americans. During the dinner inevitably we talked about the ongoing tariff. In the end our EVP stated he was all about free trading but “that forced JV to transfer technology has to stop” he said. I asked does anyone know any industry still requires joint venture, apart from automotive industry which Tesla just broke the convention. Nobody gave an answer, including the trade compliance officer. In the end the legal counsel (who is a Chinese) said education industry and accounting firms still require JV. “But they don’t have a technology transfer”, the EVP said. So, more silence until someone changed the subject. JV used to often seen in China in the 90s and early 2000. I don’t know how many industry or business still require JV with technology transfer as of today. Before all the rhetorics, can anyone clarify, now which industry in China still requires JV to operate, which includes technology transfer? As for the USA, you can also check up their history of protectionism. The history of US protectionism, in one 230-year chart
