The Christmas money tree

Money doesn't grow on tress my parents often told me when I asked for expensive Christmas presents.

It's that time of year again and for Chinese manufacturing money certainly does grow on trees.

Your plastic Christmas tree, decorations and the presents you'll present. How many of yours are made in China?

I wonder what the infamous Mao would make of China today - the old Maoist mantra of overtake Britain and catch up to America is finally being realised.

Catch up maybe but does this system have the wherewithal to lead?
