It would be better if the point can be stated in Chinese. Many Chinese including myself know little about the programs' existence. Although there are more and more Chinese knowing English, but being able to finding the benefits from the special program is beyond the English skills of most of them. Having its economy grown phenomenally more than two decades, but still being in a strong national mentality of "a hundred years of humiliation", the Chinese knowing the benefits of the program they have gained will help them graduate from "the developing country". This will benefit the U.S. economy, too.

NAFTA stands for “North American Free Trade Agreement” and the member nations to NAFTA are Canada, Mexico and the US. The issue of free trade and regional trading blocs are complicated subjects that can not be adequately addressed or understood in this context.

It is critical to know who you are dealing with. It doesn't take much to spend the time to review your contacts. I also like http://inportexport.konnects.com because I can contact people who know people that I know. Very helpful if I don't want to take up my colleagues time asking for referrals. If my colleagues trust somebody with their business then I do too. Keep up the good blogging. Good post with good information. It is critical to know who you are dealing with.
