The short version of Wal-Marts rise to glory goes something like this: In 1979 it racked up a b
2、illion dollars in sales. By 1993 it did that much business in a week; by 2001 it could do it in a day. Its a stunning taleone that propelled Wal-Mart from rural Arkansas, where it was founded in 1962, to the top of the Fortune 500 this year. Sam Walton, Wal-Marts founder, pushed sales growth relentl
3、essly while squeezing costs with sophisticated information technology. He exhorted employees to sell better with the “ten-foot rule“ (greet customers if they are that close). He was, in other words, an early evangelist for the first commandment of todays economy: Service rules. Wal-Mart, in fact, is
4、 the first service company to rise to the top of the Fortune 500. When Fortune first published its list of the largest companies in America in 1955, Wal-Mart didnt even exist. That year General Motors was Americas biggest company, and in every year that followed, either GM or another mighty industri
5、al, Exxon, was No.l. 2 Woe! Woe to the politician who is perceived to be failing to do something about the soaring price of gasoline, which has jumped about 20 percent in the past six months. AAA estimates the average two-car household will consume more than 1,200 gallons of gasoline a year. That me
6、ans the 50-cents-a-gallon increase over the past year has families spending an extra $600 of after-tax money each year, squeezing middle- and low-income families the most. What to do? We must provide an environment certain to attract the huge capital investment necessary to enhance and improve produ
7、ction of every energy resource oil, gas, nuclear, hydro, coal, and renewables. The auto industry has shown how it can improve fuel efficiency, so we must work out a timely updating of such standards for cars, light trucks, and SUVs. No progress will be possible, however, without sacrifice. We will p
8、ay more dearly, if we procrastinate. Failure to develop an energy policy means we can look forward to a lifetime of enriching the obscene sheiks, of wasting treasure and blood to defend the Middle East while impoverishing ordinary Americans and hobbling our economy. 3 If global trade and economy kee
9、p the same increasing rate as they have done in the second half of this year, it will benefit Chinas exports greatly. Although the countrys export increases are expected to slow down next year, a good investment environment and low-cost, high-quality labor will continue to attract foreign investors.
10、 Thats a trend no short-term factors can buck. However, of the actual foreign direct investments in China, less than 10 percent is used in mergers and acquisitions. Most of the investment goes to the establishment of new ventures. That means China has much room to direct foreign investment into the

After China entered the World Trade Organization in

World investors are shifting their investing destinations from the Southeast Asian countries to the Northeast Asian countries, including China, Japan and South Korea. 4 Some co

14、India behind; in the next 21 years, India outperformed its neighbor in almost nothing but population growth. By 2001, India had 1,033m people against Chinas 1,272m. But Chinas national income per head, according to the World Bank, was $890, nearly double Indias $450. Adjusted for purchasing power, t
15、he Chinese were still 70% wealthier than Indians were. Some 5% of Chinese now live below the national poverty line, compared with 29% of Indians. Many Indians now often ask why the West is so obsessed with Chinas economic success, but the obsession is Indias, too. Comparison with China has become a
16、distorting mirror in which Indians see their countrys shortcomings grotesquely magnified. The same goes for Indias sense of geopolitical inferiority.
