Leading an army of 7,162 workers in nearly 40 countries, Li & Fung is the world's largest consumer-products sourcing company, last year managing the manufacture of more than $6 billion worth of toys, clothes, memorabilia and even auto parts for the likes of Abercrombie & Fitch, Advance Auto Parts, Coke and Kohl's.

Practically nothing in Australia is considered worth reporting. In all the 30 years I have lived in New York City, I doubt that I have seen as many front-page stories about my country in the New York Times as you'd get about Israel in a month. Why would you want to know about us? We don't rock your boat or export much you're interested in, except for our admirable...
