>>China does not have a "road-based" transportation infrastructure<<
I think that you are taking a giant mental leap here....let me try to lay out the reasoning here for you:
2. Sam is pointing out the fact that China does not have a "road-based" transportation infrastructure - it may have one some day in the future, but then, it may never develop one, due to population densities, the allocation of resources into other areas, etc.
3. Therefore DWSC's business concept is flawed...to say the least.
Bob -
I should add a lot of Harvard MBA sarcasm, but I won't, but if something is flawed here, it is not DWSC's business concept.
