...China in 2008 were exported, indicating the country's output far exceeds domestic demand. Not surprisingly, foreign companies think they are being blocked from the mainland market. The European Union Chamber of Commerce in China has complained China has erected alternative-energy trade barriers, focusing specifically on the treatment of wind-turbine makers. In a position paper released in September the group said, "The use of bidding requirements to bar international [wind-turbine] companies from competing is a cause for grave concern for these players who have all invested heavily in the market to live up to stringent local content...

By the end of the hour-long interview, an army officer has filled two sheets of white paper...

Although medical treatment in Germany is among the best in the world, the country's health-care system faces an uncertain future due to exploding costs, a rapidly aging population and a burdensome bureaucracy. About 90% of Germany's 82 million people are covered by the country's public health insurance companies, which are currently funded by contributions from employers and employees. Merkel's reform plan is expected to include a freeze on employer contributions - shifting the burden to individuals - and the creation...
