...There’s a lot of potential for the team.

Beijing began reforms in the mid-1990s, encouraging the hodgepodge of small operators to consolidate and allowing foreign companies to form joint ventures so that Chinese companies could learn modern management practices, financial controls, and environmental and safety standards.

Zijin also led a consortium that bought a majority stake in London-listed Monterrico Metals, which owns a copper and molybdenum project in Peru. "All the big mining groups started this way," says Atherley...
...only thing that changes is that the credibility of the Olympics as a festival of goodwill suffers another dent. Jesse Owens had the right idea. In 1936 he led the U.S. team at Hitler's Berlin Olympics--a black man in the land of Aryan supremacy. His four gold medals proved that quiet excellence can be a most eloquent statement...
