ShareThisIs this what Obama accomplished in China last week?
Chinese news reports that China State Construction has won a 0 million contract to build subway improvements in NY City. How is that for pay back? And how does that strike you liberals as what your pres. is doing with our stimulus money?

Why did China's TVs go dark when they began to report on the police kidnapping of this famous artist?
This brave man had already been severely beaten when he asked the CCP to explain why so many children died in the Sichuan earthquake due to shoddy school construction, while nearby government bureaucrats survived in their quality constructed buildings.
Is there an emerging pattern of China’s government officials sacrificing children to save themselves?

Thats FAST 6 Months of Construction – Dubai BEFORE and AFTER UAE, Middle East
Dubai, UAE is the world’s fastest growing city. Video compares Dubai in Fall 2006 Spring 2007. Connect me on FaceBook! www.facebook.com Dubai is part of the UAE, United Arab Emirates, a country in the Gulf region of the Middle East. The capital of the UAE is Abu Dhabi. In a matter of months, new buildings appear in the perpetually changing Dubai City skyline. Various news articles state that tens of thousands of construction cranes are currently in Dubai, reportedly up to a third of all of the cranes in the world. It is quite amazing to see the speed at which they are working. Dubai is an emirate of the United Arab Emirates. Wealth, education levels and growth equal or surpass the US. Economic progress in this city of the future is unprecedented. It is the Middle East that is not familiar to most Americans. The real change in the Middle East is not from the Iraq invasion, it is from construction and business and entertainment. The speed of development in the region is mind boggling to most people.

Asian Market Update – June 29, 2010
Jun 29, 2010 — Asian markets reversed direction to close sharply lower Tuesday and set the tone for a global stock selloff as worries for the Chinese growth picture reemerged.

The Conference Board said its leading economic indicator for China rose 0.3% in April, correcting a previous reading of 1.7% increase, which the group said was the result of a calculation error. The 0.3% reading is a sharp pullback from the 1.2% rise recorded in March. China’s main stock index tumbled 4.3% to close at a 14-month low of 2427, down 108 points during the session. Shenzhen’s share benchmark tumbled 5.4%. Hong Kong’s Hang Seng Index dropped 1.2%. Financials fronted the broad-market declines.

Powering China?
(Sierraclub.org, Aug 17, 2006) China is now the 2nd biggest consumer of electricity in the world, after the U.S., and most of that power comes from coal. That’s the bad news. The good news is that the Chinese leadership knows it has a problem and is taking some steps to rein in the country’s burgeoning fossil fuel appetite. To cite one example, the government has mandated the use of solar power to heat water in all new housing construction in the booming city of Shenzhen. By 2010, according to official reports, half of the new buildings in the economic power house will have solar water heating systems, while 20 percent of them will use solar power for generating electricity. Let’s hope it’s just the beginning of a much wider trend.
