"I see that there is a substantial move to use Lanseria by various airlines. On Friday past I used Lanseria for the first time to the Cape and back for the weekend with Kulula.

The downfall of most detained foreigners in China is in their insistence on ideas of justice and fairness. Westerners often fail to understand the Chinese emphasis on negotiation and social harmony, instead believing they have been wronged and deserve a fair trial. In reality, once a case reaches trial the outcome is all but decided, and most trials result in conviction; even without a conviction, the foreigner can still be deported. Because of corruption and the Chinese principle of guanxi, a foreigner is unlikely to win if he or she is up against a powerful Chinese person in court. For this reason it is important for the foreigner to take advantage of the mediation phase that precedes the trial." Stratfor

The Bottom Line: "In recent years, some people have attempted to expand the definition of an investment to include any asset that has recently—or might soon—appreciate in price: art, rare stamps, or a wine collection. Because these items have no ascertainable fundamental value, generate no present or future cash flow, and depend for their value entirely on buyer whim, they clearly constitute speculations rather than investments."
