...Asia's environment [Oct. 9] provided shocking facts on the pollution and overpopulation of the Indian city of Kanpur and indicated that four of Asia's 10 most polluted cities are in India. The report should be an eye opener for Indians. The dramatic resurgence of the Japanese port of Kitakyushu is inspiring and is surely an environmental role model. Indian cities should implement the Kitakyushu model, as Dalian in China has done, with a commitment to a cleaner future. Let us give a face-lift to the River Ganges like the one Dokai Bay had.

"The key to being successful in business in Mexico...
...government will have to move fast to bring its legal system and infrastructure up to speed if the country hopes to attract more multinationals. Running a factory in Vietnam can be a frustrating proposition. Electricity production is barely meeting demand, which is growing at 15% per year. Roads and ports are increasingly congested. Nike Vietnam's general manager Amanda Tucker says the company's containers sometimes sit on the dock for 24 hours before shipping out. Because Vietnam has no deep-water port to handle the new larger "super-container" ships, most exports must first go to Singapore before shipping...
