Wow this thing is tall, and really looks kind of funny in that skyline. I’ve seen a lot of documentaries on the growth of Dubai and some of the oil rich middle eastern nations. It’s really amazing and just shows how much the rest of the world is ready to show off their wealth and [...]

Well it’s official. We really are one big happy family; or so the scantily clad Chinese girls would have us all believe. I’m not sure how this will go over there, but if I had to guess, I would say most of the men would approve.
With the Olympic Games only 11 months away, Beijing officials [...]

So the conservation groups listed their top ten most polluted cities. Lets take a look at who makes the cut.
Would you believe that for once we Americans don’t top a list of the bad sort.
The asterisk just means they were on the list last year.

Sumgayit, Azerbaijan*;

Linfen, China;

Tianying, China*;

Sukinda, India*;

Vapi, India*;

La Oroya, Peru;

Dzerzhinsk, Russia;

It appears there are names behind the faces of the sub prime slime and it has spread abroad. If you need anymore proof that our economy is not global look no further.

Where’s the beef? South Korea suspend U.S. Beef imports after finding this nice chunk of angus in a recent shipment. It seems that you’re out of the loop these days if your not getting some product banned. Tit for tat, but can you blame them for this. Not exactly appetizing “Yuck”

If you need to see the proof of big global infrastructure build out just look no further then Cisco. The John Chambers led company beat the street, but more impressive was the forward guidance. The world is shrinking and Cisco is leading the way. You might want to tuck this one away for retirement.

Chinas latest threat in the trade war seems to have raised some eyebrows. Let’s see they hold about a trillion dollars worth of U.S Treasuries. Hmm yeah that would give them some clout. It’s not beneficial to either party to turn the back on the other. Sit down and work it out. Whether you like it [...]

India seems to be becoming the IT island. Dell plans to expand to double it’s staff across various departments, and adding a manufacturing center. If you remember dell faced some backlash in the not so distant past with customer complaints over the outsourcing of customer service. It just goes to show you that regardless of [...]

Anyone who was around in the early 80’s to see Walmart exploding across America with one of the biggest and quickest expansions may now see something even bigger in China. Walmart expects to hire 150,000 workers in China over the next five years and could overtake the US as it’s biggest market in 20 years [...]

It appears congress is threatening action against china for the rather high gap in the trade deficit. I see this obviously being the biggest thing that will hold China back.
