Can You Hear Me Mao? - 2005-12-06
It's hard to learn Chinese script. Reading and writing the language of Confucius, Sun Yat-Sen, and close to 2 billion Chinese worldwide is quite difficult for westerners raised with alphabetic writing systems.

Mark My Words - 2005-12-02
If the US goes to war with China, it might as well drop a bomb on Los Angeles.

Justified Hype - 2005-11-29
In my other life as a disc jockey, I've witnessed the rise of many previously unknown talents. Artists in every branch of music, from experimental noise to straightforward rock 'n' roll, depend on DJs to expand their audience and turn them into household names.

Bet Window Still Open - 2005-11-22
It feels good to root for the dark horse. But in a race, all bets are off once the horses leave the starting gate. Good thing for us the stock market doesn't run the same way, allowing people to take notice of an underdog and ride it to the top.

The Amazing Hopkins - 2005-11-17
Yep, I call 'em right. My subjective radar was right on the nose, and I scooped the leader of our very own Hyperpower on his big Asia policy speech.

Taiwan Tied-Down? - 2005-11-14
As China weaves an international web of trade alliances, the hardest strand to sort out is also its most public foreign policy matter. Taiwan has maintained since 1949 that it is a separate entity from the mainland, which the Beijing government of course refutes.

Alpha-States - 2005-11-10
I received a number of e-mail responses to Monday's Waking Dragon ("Fast Times at Pacific Rim High"), including ones from Canadians happy with the way I addressed the trade situation between our two NHL-brother countries.

Fast Times at Pacific Rim High - 2005-11-07
Sometimes geopolitics seems more like high school. The self-assured jock (USA) begs all comers to "bring it on," while the brainiac (China) threatens to take his eminently copyable homework and go home.

All My Dollars - 2005-11-03
Last week, I wrote about AMD and how I think they are positioning themselves for a real run at Intel. As I run the Asian Investment Desk here at Wealth Daily, my analysis stemmed mainly from the California-based firm's significant forays into the Chinese computing game.

Country Roads, Take Me Elsewhere - 2005-10-31
Come and Get Yer Fresh Highway Wheat!

The Logic of Industrial Parenting - 2005-10-27
Chinese InfoTech and the Logic of Industrial Parenting.

China Scores Win for Capitalism! - 2005-10-26
Today, the Chinese petroleum industry achieved a hefty victory in its drive to procure enough oil to keep China burgeoning for decades to come. Chinese company CNPC has taken over Canadian-based Kazakh oil firm PetroKazakhstan (PKZ.TO) with a US $4.18 billion buyout.

A Tale of Two Countries - 2005-10-24
Picture a society of factories and filth. On city streets, the black smog is so thick, it's like sucking on an exhaust pipe.

Mao Money, Mao Money - 2005-10-17
The first time I stepped into my hotel room in China, I didn't know why it was dark. Every room I had ever entered in an American hotel-at least ones that could legitimately be called "hotels"-had at least a table lamp lit to welcome me.

Free Trade, Globalization, and National Security - 2005-06-30
The United States has had a long history of supporting free trade. As a stanch capitalist, I support free trade whole heartily.
