Hi BF - re >>Europe ... to be major beneficiary of China's new found wealth<< I hope it's Chinese in the first place. There's been - correctly assumed - a lot of transfer of European / german know-how to China, although I do not know, how important it is given the total picture - maybe somebody closer than I could say something about it -. Re Volvos, Audis etc - Id assume there be for sure some Porsches sold there and then a lot of Golfs and Octavias and Ritmos. I'll check on how Yugo factory is doing (sg) - been bombed to Mars some time ago. Anybody remember that? Following my own thread of thought: Had two from Beograd to dinner yesterday and, man, do they remember it- they live 200 yards from the Chinese embassy and saw that cruise missile pass by their windows... He's the top haematologist (dont offer any positions, he's not moving) and the situation (professionally as well as personally) went from horrible before to barely liveable now. Sad: the one-in-the-world case of genetic disease in blood, that he discovered and that made his international name is no more - the family that had it, moved to Australia... And to find another (he stipulates, it's endemic to the MonteNegro/Albanian Prokletije mountains) is still too dangerous. Plus who cares... But, one daughter studies (of course) medicine and the other one linguistics. And I admire them all.
