China is humming with economic activity. A recent trip to Wuhan and Chongqing, two major industrial hubs on the Yangtze River, confirmed this.

What is noticeable is the amount of ongoing roadwork, thousands of tons of concrete and steel being utilized to produce larger freeways, overhead light railways, under-river MRT tunnels and new Maglev train foundations. (By Will Hickey, Busan, South Korea)

Your comments:

This article gives additional insight, especially on the importance of the implementation of Law no. 40/2007 on mandated CSR programs for oil and mining industries, which includes programs in education and training.

Moreover, it’s likely uncommon to have a Western guy suggesting Indonesia to follow the model of China. But I agree that China’s development can be a good model for other developing economies, especially on how to successfully use foreign capital and technology to develop the economy.
