Growth Spreading West in China

There is a great article in yesterday's NY Times about the spread of manufacturing and wealth westward in China from the traditional bases of Shenzhen, Guangzhou, and Shanghai. Maybe I think it's so great because it agrees with many things I've been suggesting we need to address quickly within OPSA. We are moving in the right directions, just not as quickly as I'd like.

I do believe that the best companies create an environment where spirited disagreement is accepted and encouraged as long as it is focused on how to move forward. That's good news for OPSA.

I've read much about the Chengdu area. The article also covers it. The earthquake rebuilding will make this a key area in China soon. It may be a little too hot right now, but areas around it or between Chengdu and Hong Kong may be an expansion opportunity for us. Here's the article. Enjoy!
