Having a good partner in this industry, it would probably increase your firm. Vendors are the most important part when outsourcing a business company outside the country.

But I've been reading lately about biofuel, specifically poop, to generate energy for homes. There's been back-lash, particularly from organic farmers who need the stuff for fertilizer, but you would barely know it from articles like this: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/18847427/ I quite agree that most neutral parties realize that biofuel is a suboptimal resource for fueling automobiles.

They could bring in Americans and Europeans to teach some courses. Wonder if they'd ever consider doing anything so radical...

It gives you some perspective on the explosive growth of new industry in China just to hear them phrase it that way. Otherwise, it's more of the kind of advice needed only by people so clueless that evolution should probably eliminate them soon anyway. Smuggling opium *into* China?

But in defense of China and lots of other nations with CO2 pollution problems, it's difficult to expect developing countries to worry about alternative energy when they're still worrying about getting energy enough to fuel their growth. The wealthiest and most established countries knew this would happen, that is, if their leaders know how to read. So they should have factored that into their own plans.

Maybe you caught the headlines earlier this week in the New York Times. China is now scolding the U.S. for being economically irresponsible. They're right. Alarming, but not really surprising.

I am a bit confused, though. I called the IAOP office in 2007, on behalf of a client, to inquire about being considered for the Global Outsourcing 100. The person that I talked to gave me the information that I included in the original post. Perhaps we had some sort of misunderstanding. In any event, given the information that we received, the client elected not to apply. I’ve heard similar reports from other Chinese vendors, but we might be talking to the wrong person. In the future, we’ll suggest that our clients contact you directly. Thanks again! Hi Pam- Thank you for the clarification. I am a bit confused, though.

There were huge lines for everything afterwards, and everyone worried about food and power. But that's where the resemblence stops. The California quake was only 6.9 on the Richter scale, and the China quake was 7.9. That makes the amplitude of the wave 10 times bigger, and therefore impossible for me to imagine. I'm happy that the government's response has been so strong and efficient.
