That was hot. I find intelligent women so exciting and inspiring.

More seriously, I was glad to hear of the Chinese government passing laws in favor of the workers and at the same time being very receptive to the workers legal requests to have their employers abide by those laws.

I was also encouraged by environmental initiatives going on in China.

And, of course, I am concerned that China is under the same kind of duress from the ebb and flow of global economic dynamics that the rest of the developed and developing countries are subject to.

All and all: Thanks Alexandra, Stuart and James for this informative experience.
