The People's Republic of China is the latest to jump on the bandwagon, announcing in 1996 that it had found Shangri-la in the mountainous Deqin prefecture of northwestern Yunnan province.

Fox, 59, with his farmer's dislike of being cooped up and his salesman's instinct for staying mobile, exercises power on the move. If it's Tuesday, this must be Santiago, Chile; or Detroit; or the state of Chiapas; or downtown Mexico City.
