He offers a new way to look at the world and what the future holds for all of us. <BR/><BR/>And the impact China has had on our U.S. economy is not all bad. Quite the opposite. For example, China has become one of the fastest growing markets for U.S. farm products, with exports tripling from U.S. $1.7 billion to $6.1 billion in 2004.<BR/><BR/>Further, U.S. affiliates of U.S. companies doing business in China sold more than U.S. $75 billion worth of products to Chinese consumers and businesses.<BR/><BR/>China's success creates new wealth for all of us. We just need to figure out how to be more entrepreneurial -- tap into it -- and reap the rewards.<BR/><BR/>Best,<BR/>LaurelLaurel Delaneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10479705912069531165noreply@blogger.com
