On the eve of June 30, Hong Kong was officially passed back to China. This event will mark what Willem van Kemenade sees as the start of an increasingly problematic -- and even dangerous -- reintegration of the old Chinese empire into a new world superpower. Since the early 1980s, investment money has been pouring into China from Hong Kong and trade has escalated at a rocket's pace. A few years later, the same pattern began between China and Taiwan. The combination of Hong Kong/Taiwan management, financial and export know-how with China's inexhaustible pool of cheap labor and land has enabled China in one decade to leap from an impoverished revolutionary state to a major international trading power. This economic boom, in conjunction with the violation of intellectual property rights, systematic tax fraud, and the corruption of the police force, has helped shape the "socialist market economy," China's third way -- and a new mix of old-fashioned Soviet Communism and East Asian capitalism.
The formal addition of Hong Kong will add to this mixture the democratic structures set in place by the British. And, as China moves to reclaim Taiwan (the process has already begun), it will be incorporating a rival Chinese sub-nation with a fully election-based political system and a powerful independence movement. Can such a reunified China resist the "spiritual pollution" of democratic values, human rights, and political freedom? Will it become the first depoliticized "corporatist superpower"? What are the prospects that reunification will be peaceful?
Van Kemenade's portrait of the true internal power structures of the three Chinas provides our clearest look yet at the fastest-rising newempire in the world today.

Investment U's Profit from Uranium

Nuclear power is growing hotter by the minute because the global economy is growing at a record pace and the world's population is expected to jump by 3 billion over the next 20 years. Oil is too expensive, coal is too dirty and environmentally sound technologies aren't ready to handle the world's needs. The supplies of uranium are already well behind the world's demands. Consequently, prices have jumped some 5000ver the past five years, from $7 in 2000 to over $40 today. There are several ways to invest in uranium: Investors can look to China (a producer of cheap urnanium) and invest in companies that are either producing uranium or selling uranium in China.

Commandments (Widescreen)

Why do bad things happen to good people? Courteney Cox (TV's "Friends," "Scream 1,2 & 3"), Aidan Quinn ("Michael Collins," "Legends Of The Fall") and Anthony LaPaglia (TV's "Without A Trace," "The Salton Sea") star in this dark, romantic comedy from Executive Producer Ivan Reitman about a decent man who dares to ask, "Why me?" Seth Warner (Quinn) has lost everything in his life that he holds dear - his wife, his job and his home. All of which, he suspects, is neither accident nor coincidence. He feels that he is, for some inexplicable reason, the target of God's wrath. At the end of his rope, Seth is taken in by his sister-in-law, Rachel (Cox), who is trapped in a miserable marriage with her corrupt husband, Harry (LaPaglia). It is in their care that he forms a bizarre plan to seek revenge on the Almighty. By breaking each of the Ten Commandments, he attempts to get even and force an answer from above. What follows is a series of twisted events that leads them to believe that when you have... Commandments (Widescreen)
