China on the grow

Greetings from Long Beach, CA. I am here for NSSGA's Plant Operator's Forum, and it's great to see so many familiar faces. One of the topics of discussion I am hearing on the show floor concerns the Chinese infrastructure market, fueled perhaps by an article in USA Today detailing construction efforts going on in China. That country is expected to surpass the U.S. in expressway miles by 2020. No wonder the ConExpo Asia show, to be held May 15-18 2006, in Beijing, is generating so much attention. Your comment?
