China, Volatility and the Winter Storm

My "side note" notwithstanding, thanks for the good and informative post, Brett.

China, Volatility and the Winter Storm

Perhaps, the good news is: the Bush/GOP administration isn't any worse than the Wen Jiabao/Communist administration. I mean, when you look at (a) Bush's handling of a weather event hitting a half-million-person population center after 3 days of advance warning to drive at least 50 miles away and then compare it with (b) Jiabao's handling of one hitting millions over a larger area, it "clearly illustrates the frailty of an economy that, for all its volatile growth, remains one that is emerging".
