China seizes low carbon export opportunities in clean tech race
China is already the world’s leading renewable energy producer* and is over-taking more developed economies in exploiting valuable economic opportunities, creating green-collar jobs and leading development of critical low carbon technologies, says a new report to be published by The Climate Group. http://www.theclimategroup.org/news_and_events/china_unleashes_clean_revolution/
China leads the world in 4G mobile services
3G mobile services have been a buzzword in European and American circles for some time now, with a wide proliferation of 3G enabled mobile handsets in the market. As a result, many industry commentators saw it as only a matter of time before China, one of the world's biggest internet users, caught up. But China have done much more than just "catch up" - they've overtaken the West in the realm of mobile handsets by launching the world's first 4G mobile services. http://www.bigmouthmedia.com/live/articles/china-leads-the-world-by-jumping-straight-to-4g-mo.asp/3434/

China also leads the world w executions.
It's great to see progress being made on such a large scale. It remains to be seen, if the chinese are truly creative, or if, like the japanese, they are merely taking what is given and improving it and mass producing it. More thoughts?

Well, with their population I say it's a good thing for the rest of the world that they are pursuing renewable energy so vigorously.

A lot of this stuff is groundwork stuff. Things like the highest number of college grads. Once they get working/researching, it should further accelerate civilization. It would appear that emmigrating to the usa for better and better paying jobs may be a thing of the past.

This is just like when we I deploy a new network at a business versus work on an existing one. When it is a new building, you put in the latest technology. If you already have an investment, you only replace what really needs replacing.
The Chinese are basically starting from scratch, of course they can put in the latest and greatest, they aren't replacing working infrastructure, they are deploying where there was nothing before.

'they are deploying where there was nothing before'
Good point. Kind of like the usa leapfrogged britain. I hear that, in some places in england, they still do not have indoor plumbing. The usa has continued to hold the lead over britain, and probably will continue to do so.

Living so close to china, australians would have a much different perspective, a much closer look at the giant, so to speak. We canadians have our own neighbor giant.
