Paul, I'm sorry but I can't quite see why American companies fail in China from your post - there are lots of little pieces, but no big reason except the last point. So your point is really many-fold, right?:

1 - Offices and subsidiaries in China should be given much more leeway to act and make choices on their own.
2 - Things aren’t so scalable in China w/o being localized first.
3 - US companies coming into China don’t know how to allocate resources efficiently (ie don’t know that most labor is quite inexpensive)
4 - Americans who believe that American companies doing badly in China because of protectionism are often wrong - there are many issues at play, many of them having to do with the competitiveness of American companies.

Paul, I’m sorry but I can’t quite see why American companies fail in China from your post - there are lots of little pieces, but no big reason except the last point.
