China and India by way of Scotland

I managed to get a bit of newspaper reading in this morning but most of it was foreign news. Two pieces in two different Scottish papers stuck with me. The first reviewed a book on China. The book laid out China's possibility as being the power in this century but diverted for a paragraph on the ascent of India. From the reviewer's name I assume he is Indian. He makes good points for not ignoring India.

The Sunday Herald profiled United Spirits which is an Indian company which - among other areas - imports liquor into China.

So what? If Hoosiers want to do business with China, we had better know something about the place. We also need to keep from getting blinded by the hype of China. India is out there also and is coming on strong. Nimbleness, might be a good idea. Albeit a quality we have in short supply here in Indiana for economic matters.
