Think of Hangxiao Steel Structure Co. as a scout on China's economic front line. Its 200 workers in Anhui province rivet together prefabricated structures for factory assembly lines, which churn out goods for stores like Wal-Mart. A year ago business was so brisk that the company imported 70 workers from distant Shandong province to keep up with demand.

The spandexed sybarites in Aerosmith have never been much for tradition, which makes their blues obsession more subversive and dynamic. On the surface they churn out big, dumb power ballads, but Joe Perry's wailing guitar lines and Steven Tyler's lyrics ("I was cryin' when I met you/Now I'm tryin' to forget you") would have Leadbelly nodding in recognition...

The spandexed sybarites in Aerosmith have never been much for tradition, which makes their blues obsession more subversive and dynamic; on the surface they churn out big dumb power ballads, but Joe Perry's wailing guitar lines and Steven Tyler's lyrics ("I was cryin' when I met you/ Now I'm tryin' to forget you") would have Leadbelly nodding in recognition. Clapton and Aerosmith both know their blues, but playing blues classics convincingly is another...
