Actually, I was just reading that WalMart was opening a new store in 
Bejing.  They are starting to get aggressive in opening stores in SE Asia 
(particularly China with its 1.x billion inhabitants) because they perceive 
that european chains have an advantage with their former colonial territories.

Nothing like seeing American capitalism march across the face of the 
planet, planting its flag wherever it goes...
