But it is NOT a technological question. The trouble with Europe is that its economy is continental but policies are still made on the nation state level.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19949676.post-34233111955802537622009-12-29T19:12:37.771+00:002009-12-29T19:12:37.771+00:00Western China is desert.

The culture of corruption is different. Nobody likes Chinese communist. But their investment will create their yield for sure.
