Those who criticize China may be missing the value of their excellent central planning. Now, some might say China is utter chaos in its growth strategy, but I see some real brilliance there myself. I see a giant “Spider Web” distribution system at the heart of their strategy.

The South American country of Peru is one which can be considered truly diverse. The complicated history of Peru over several thousand years has led to a country which is poor in economic terms but extremely rich in cultural and natural wealth. According to figures from the World Bank (2008) Peru has GDP per capita of US$ 8,507 compared with US$ 35,445 for the UK and US$ 46,716 for the USA.

It is quite amazing the incredible innovation and growth that is being experienced in India. It is amazing how the standard of living is improving, the technology is improving, the education is improving, the infrastructure is growing, and the power, strength, and will of all Indians is showing light.

It is really obvious that China is on a mad dash and a scavenger hunt around the world to get all the resources it needs to keep going and to keep growing.

During Christmas vacation from my teaching job in Bahrain, I traveled to Pakistan in 1980. The Soviet Union had invaded Afghanistan months before and refugee camps were being set up in Pakistan. I drove with my husband across Punjab, to Peshawar and then up the 28 miles of the Kyber Pass to the border between Aghanistan and Pakistan where hundreds of refugees were crossing.

While most people realize that location often does not matter with the internet, those who have experienced living overseas both pre-internet days and now can appreciate this fact the most.
