The Russians are known for their love of the game Chess. That’s what they are doing, playing all sides for the ultimate win. I really wish the U.S. was more like Russia in regard to looking out for it’s best interests.

That would be a really low cost place to buy stuff at. Is it a factory outlet store?

American goods much cheaper at a Wal-Mart in Beijing than if you go shopping at a Wal-Mart store in the US. I’ve lived in China for three years, so I don’t have US currency on hand, but I’m aware of the daily currency exchange rate. According to my calculations, American goods in China at a Wal-Mart would cost less than half of what you would pay at a Wal-Mart in the US. If you want details, I’m going to Wal-Mart on Saturday and perhaps I could write down a list of prices and you can compare them to Wal-Mart prices in the US.
