reminds me of one of my mispells<ggg> " Cock Cola went to China in 1978, and in the first few years they can not sell much, but now I see Cock is everywhere, and Cock built the largest assembly and manufacturing plants in China. The same for Hamburgs,the largest MD restaurant in Pekin can serve more than 1200 people anytime," pop goes the weazel......................

Ed, what is your native language, if you don't mind saying? Why do you say Cock for Coke? "but now I see Cock is everywhere," ...this sounds vulgar to the Western reader. ;-). Anyway thank you, I appreciate the views of someone who has been to China. I do think Compaq should continue to be present there, and continue to look for opportunities. Maybe after awhile consumers in China will begin to want the brand names (as the prices have come down), just as has happened in the US.
