Discovery Channel has gone Chinese

This article comes from "The Washington Post"

Discovery announced recently that they are partnering with Chinese media venture Qiu Suo. Discovery will be working with the company to create a Chinese cable network.

Once again, this appears to be an inconsequential post. I chose it because I think it highlights the gradual drift toward free-market Capitalism we are seeing in China. China is increasingly ascending in its role with regards to international economics. China has the labor pool and the resources; if it were to utilize fully its free market potential, I think China could easily pass the U.S. in economic domination. I think the world will have to reconcile itself to China's presence very quickly.

  1. I don't think that China has to 100% have to fully utilize fully its free market potential. But I do think they should give more of it up to gain more economic status, but for the time being I think they are doing just fine even though their economy has contracted around 1% in the last few quarters.
