Smithfield and Shuanghui: Two Pigs in a Blanket? :: It may not be the oldest profession in the world, but pig production has to be up there in terms of history. China has been producing pigs for more than 2,000 years, well before the United States was even a gleam in the eyes of the Founding Fathers. So, how can the largest pork producer […]

Chinese Carmakers Go Global :: You may not see Chinese cars in showrooms in the United States, Germany or Italy anytime soon, but you're liable to see them everywhere else you travel.

The Reality Of Electric Cars In China :: Everyone is excited about the potential for electric cars in China — except the companies actually making cars in China! At the Detroit Auto Show in January of this year, Tesla announced its plans to open a dealership in Beijing — its first store in China.

China: Getting Serious About Air Pollution? :: Sunday looked like a pretty clear day when I woke up yesterday  in Beijing, one of the best we've had in a few weeks. However, when I checked my Air Quality Index ("AQI") application, one that nearly all Beijingers have now installed on their cell phones, it stood at a decidedly "unhealthy" 145. So much […]

The Changing Landscape Of Global Autos :: What a difference twenty years makes. In 1993, China's auto industry was producing less than one million vehicles per year and there were no Chinese passenger car makers. In 2013 China will produce over twenty million vehicles, and Chinese companies account for 35 percent of the total passenger car market. In 1993 the likes of […]

Shale Gas: China's Untapped Resource :: When I met recently with a senior investment officer from China Investment Corporation ("CIC"), the country's sovereign wealth fund, I was told that CIC is very bullish on the United States. Why? In CIC's opinion, the existence of large shale gas reserves in the U.S. will provide a massive shot in the arm for the […]

Feeding China's Population :: Food — providing enough of it at acceptable levels of quality and at an affordable cost is shaping up to be one of China's most challenging problems. Lax quality control, production shortcuts, urbanization and rising consumer spending are all combining to turn the spotlight on China's food supply chain, creating problems, but also opportunities, for […]

The World Bank's latest forecast […]
