China and their hunger


Every now and then, I feel the strange need to read something that I don't really care much about in order to feel smarter. So I pick up an Economist magazine. Good reading; I must say I have learned much about the world. However, there has been much talk about China lately and The Economist has featured an article on China's quest for resources called "A Ravenous Dragon". In this article, I founds something interesting: China needs oil as much as soybeans...(see chart to right). I think it's interesting that they had to compare copper, oil and soybeans.

READ THE ECONOMIST!!!
