China's Western appetite

By David B. Gordon

WUHAN, CHINA – Broad avenues along a well-kept waterfront swarm with Japanese, German, French, and American cars and trucks. Commuters at bus stops wait for sleek, brightly decorated buses to carry them to their offices or favorite shopping areas. Rows of lampposts sport Pepsi logos. Fashion-conscious pedestrians chat on cellphones or check their voicemail. Meanwhile, billboard advertisements promote the latest Hollywood releases: "The Matrix Reloaded" and "Legally Blonde 2: Red, White & Blonde."
Where is this scene taking place? New York City? Seattle? London? Paris? Think again: It's Wuhan, China, during the scorching hot summer of 2003.
