Two articles in The Hindu by Pallavi Aiyar well worth a read:

China’s road king
A profile of Lifan Group’s founder and President Yin Mingshan:

In 1992 he was able to start a small motorbike spare parts company with a grand total of nine employees including his wife and son and an investment of 200,000 yuan ($25,000)...

...Today Yin’s company is considered to be China’s number one privately owned motorcycle manufacturer in addition to being the nation’s top exporter of two-wheelers and their engines.


A fusion solution to the energy problem
China, India and South Korea are all putting money into researching nuclear fusion. This article looks at China's efforts:

Hefei, is also emerging as the unlikely centre for cutting-edge research into physics, including an ongoing fusion project that aims to eventually convert seawater into energy by constructing an "artificial sun" on earth.

The researchers working at the Hefei-based Institute of Plasma Physics (IPP), part of the sprawling green-lawned campus of the Chinese Academy of Science, claim that although it will be a long-term process the eventual success of the fusion project would have enormous benefits for China and the world, helping provide a solution to the pressing need for large quantities of clean energy.
