Chinese Troop Movements Signal War?

Tanks, one by one, moving along a main road in China’s coastal Fujian province. Driving up speculations that the Chinese military may be warming up for war.
These military vehicles were spotted further up the coast, in neighboring Zhejiang province. According to dissident website, molihua.org, these tanks in Hubei province are being transported from a military base to the coast.
The troop movements come after months of escalating tensions between China and Japan over the disputed territory of the Diaoyun, or Senkaku islands and they’re known in Japan. It’s caused international worries that the two countries may be on the cusp of war. Both sides have scrambled jets and warships in the region. In January, during naval exercise near the disputed waters, Chinese warships reportedly directed their targeting radar at a Japanese vessel.
On February 7, State-run Global Times published this article saying there is a “serious possibility” a military conflict may flare up between China and Japan. It continues to say that fewer and fewer people are hopeful for a peaceful resolution to the Diaoyu Island crisis.
Are we in a countdown to war between China and Japan? NTD will continue to keep you posted as the situation develops. I hope this will not affect this stock.

MEDL apps have been downloaded approximately 17 million times. More than 3 million of those users have the current implementation of the company's Mobile Brain. Using similar metrics, based only on MEDL's 3 million users of the Brain, at a lifetime value of only $25 to $35 per user, MEDL’s current valuation should be between $75 million and $105 million

FIC Launches Fox Sports In Asia
FOX International Channels renames all ESPN networks as FOX Sports Networks, launching the brand into over 100 million homes overnight.
Asia – Sports fans in over 100 million households across 16 countries in Asia today switched on their television sets to welcome FOX SPORTS networks into their homes. FOX International Channels (FIC) Asia, News Corporation’s international multi-media business and Asia’s leading pay-TV network, has renamed all ESPN networks to FOX SPORTS networks across all major affiliate platforms in Asia. This follows News Corporation’s successful acquisition of ESPN's partnership interest in ESPN STAR Sports (ESS) in November last year.
The renaming signals the introduction of the flagship new channel FOX SPORTS to Asia, the world’s leading sports media brand, as the new destination for sports in the region along with the high-definition channel FOX SPORTS PLUS (HD); the 24-7 sports news channel, FOX SPORTS NEWS; the broadband network, FOX SPORTS PLAY and the mobile service, FOX SPORTS MOBILE. FOX SPORTS is already the leading sports media brand in the US, Latin America and Europe. Now through the renaming, the brand has expanded into Asia significantly, making FOX SPORTS’ footprint truly global.
Going forward, FIC Asia will manage all the FOX SPORTS networks along with the current STAR Sports, FOX Football Channel, STAR Cricket and STAR Cricket HD networks across various countries in the region*, giving the sports networks an opportunity to be cross promoted to over 500 million subscribers across Asia.
“The addition of FOX SPORTS further strengthens FOX International Channels Asia’s portfolio,” said Ward Platt, President of FOX International Channels, Asia Pacific and the Middle East. “FOX SPORTS is already the leading sports network in the US, UK, Australia, Latin America and Europe. We’ll leverage the brand’s leading position around the world to benefit the channel here in Asia.”
“Sports has always been a driver genre in the TV business and with the addition of FOX SPORTS to FIC Asia’s portfolio, we are well poised to further our position as Asia’s leading network,’ said Peter Hutton, Senior Vice President, Sports at FOX International Channels. “We are looking to launch even more premium sports content in the near future and are committed to making FOX SPORTS the premiere destination for passionate sports fans.”
FOX SPORTS will continue to bring to viewers the same great sporting content enjoyed on ESPN and more. This includes the Barclays Premier League, Spanish Liga BBVA; motor-racing (Formula One, SBK, MotoGP, NASCAR, Dakar Rally); Grand Slam tennis (Wimbledon, Australian Open) and other events such as the WTA Tour, ATP World Tour and the Hopman Cup; the Golf Majors (The Masters, US Open and The Open Championship) as well as the PGA Grand Slam of Golf; popular American sports (Major League Baseball, NCAA College Football and Basketball), premier Asian events (Asian Football Confederation events, ASEAN Basketball League, OneAsia golf tournaments, HSBC Asian Five Nations) and top cricket properties (International Cricket Council events, Champions League Twenty20, international and domestic cricket from the Board of Control for Cricket in India, Cricket Australia and England and Wales Cricket Board, Bangladesh Premier league and Sri Lanka Premier League) among others**.
Through this wide range of top quality international and regional sports action, FIC Asia with its FOX SPORTS networks will continue to deliver the most passionate audience in a captive environment and extend multiple opportunities to advertisers and affiliate partners alike.
Driven with a single-minded aim to deliver the most engaging sports experience through an innovative approach, FOX SPORTS is also launching the new sports news programme FOX SPORTS CENTRAL. The show’s bold sports presentation brings alive the most important sport news by offering a comprehensive 360 degree coverage delivered by the most credible presenters and unique insights and opinions from the most knowledgeable and well-informed experts. The new FOX SPORTS CENTRAL programme replaces the current program SportsCenter on ESPN and is aired on FOX SPORTS weeknights at 7:30pm HKT/SGT.
The new fan-focused initiatives will also include new programming blocks** such as the ‘Thursday Fight Night’, showcasing a variety of content from the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), and ‘ABL Friday Basketball’, featuring the ASEAN Basketball League (ABL). In addition, FOX SPORTS will continue to offer its world-class expertise and sports coverage for Asian sports fans, with the broadcast of Sky Sports’ studio coverage of the key games of the Spanish Liga BBVA this season.**
Taking fans’ engagement beyond television, foxsportsasia.com is now the new online destination in place of espnstar.com for comprehensive, real time and authoritative content across an unrivalled breadth of sports news, editorial opinions, scores and more. Fans will also enjoy the same innovative sports coverage online in local languages including Bahasa Malaysia (www.foxsports.my), Bahasa Indonesia (www.foxsports.co.id) and Mandarin (www.foxsports.com.tw).
FOX SPORTS, along with its associate sports networks, is the world’s no. 1 sports media brand with the widest coverage across the USA, Latin America, Europe, Australia, Middle East and North Africa and Asia. It has a strong record of fan-centric innovations and unrivalled expertise in sports presentation, such as being the first to introduce on-screen time-clocks and scoreboards that revolutionized the way viewers enjoy LIVE sports.

Read this...Not long ago, the Red Peak Group, a global brand-consulting firm with offices in New York, began researching names for a new product in China—a pay-per-view and video-on-demand platform that would allow people to stream licensed Hollywood movies into their homes. Along the way, they market-tested a range of Chinese-style names for the product. But in the end, the feedback was clear. Consumers in China preferred an American-sounding brand. The marketers went with “YOU On Demand.”
“What we found was that if you’re associated with a positive part of America, which Hollywood is, they want you to be more American, rather than more local,” says Red Peak Chief Executive Officer James Fox. “There’s still a status associated with American brands.”
These days the same holds true, marketers will tell you, in the emerging middle classes in developing countries around the world. In Brazil and India, Russia and China, the value of America as a brand-enhancing, anabolic sales booster has never been stronger. Budweiser (BUD), General Motors (GM), Tiffany (TIF), Jack Daniels (BF/A), Levi’s—the more American-sounding, the better. In the first six months of 2012, Harley-Davidson’s (HOG) retail sales were up 16.5 percent in the Asia-Pacific region and 58 percent in Latin America. Tiffany’s sales in Japan jumped 13 percent in the same period. In the past two quarters, Yum! (YUM), the parent company of KFC and Pizza Hut, has opened 328 restaurants in China. “Very American brands are doing incredibly well outside the home market,” Fox says.
U.S. brands have been helped overseas by the Obama administration’s increased focus on trade liberalization. In 2011, the president pushed through three previously stalled free-trade agreements, with Panama, Colombia, and South Korea. Over the past four years, U.S. exports have grown from $133 billion in December 2008 to $183 billion in July 2012.
In May top representatives of America’s liquor industry traveled to Seoul to toast the uncorking of a new market. “We are honored to be here in Seoul to celebrate the U.S.-Korea Free Trade Agreement and to showcase the heritage and flavors of American whiskeys,” said Frank Coleman of the Distilled Spirits Council of the United States. “Premium bourbons and Tennessee whiskeys are experiencing significant growth in global markets because of their authentic heritage, their distinctive flavors, and their versatility in cocktails.”
Translation: U.S.A.! U.S.A.!
Allen Adamson, the managing director of Landor Associates, a global branding firm, says that an association with the U.S. helps companies even more now than four years ago. That’s in part, he says, because the U.S. has emerged from the financial crisis in better shape than many countries in Europe. “Success is a major dimension of the American brand,” he says. “What was derailing that four years ago was the weak business performance with the meltdown of the financial world.”
As the American economy has slowly bounced back, so too has the marketing value of brand USA. These days, says Adamson, American companies are benefiting from the collective glow thrown off by the success and ubiquity of U.S. tech companies like Apple (AAPL), Facebook (FB), and Google (GOOG). The cachet of Silicon Valley looms large in the global imagination.
“The language of the Web is rooted in American brands, American imagery,” Adamson says. “Look at the role the social networking sites played during the Arab Spring. Facebook and Twitter have become ambassadors for the American brand, the way Ford Motor (F) and GM and General Electric (GE) were 50 years ago.”

The 3D re-issue of Cameron's Titanic earlier this year became the first Hollywood film to perform better in China than the US on opening. It ended up grossing $154.8m in China, compared with $57.9m in the states. More co-productions are likely after China announced in May it was to build a $1.27bn Hollywood co-production film studio.
