China: the New Global High-Tech Power

Posted by michael on Friday July 12, 2002 @03:08PM from the manpower-not-a-problem dept.

Andy Tai writes "This three-part news.com special report shows how mainland China has become the focus of high tech business opportunities during the global recession. The article compares today's China to 19th Century America as "a booming nation starved for products and driven by a new generation of entrepreneurs", points out China's "sheer numbers and ambitious work ethic are producing thousands of engineers--and U.S. companies are recruiting the best of them," and concludes "that this may eventually be known as China's high-tech century. " Another good article looking at China's rise as a global power can be found here."

Australia was actually created by people running away from Britain because of persecution.

Erm, no, I rather think Australia was created by plate tectonics.

And the encyclopedia I checked says Australia was founded by a bunch of British convicts:

"Oy! The boat 'it somethin', an' when we looked ova' the side, we founded it was land that we 'it! So we desoyded ta stay!"

So all you Aussies are the descendants of a bunch of filthy criminals! :-)

"Yahoo Serious"? Do those words go together?
