If anybody's got a bit of cash around to put into something, I've found a Chinese drug chain ADR that's fairly cheap and gives a 7.3% dividend yield to boot. It's NPD (China Nepstar Chain Drugstore Ltd). Reading Yahoo Finance's spiel makes it sound much like CVS or Walgreens here:

China Nepstar Chain Drugstore Ltd. operates retail
drugstores in the People's Republic of China. Its
drugstores provide pharmacy services and other merch-
andise, including prescription drugs; over-the-counter
drugs; nutritional supplements, such as various
healthcare supplements, vitamins, minerals, and
dietary products; herbal products, including drinkable
herbal remedies and packages of assorted herbs for
making soup; and private label products under
Beautiful Life, Qianlong, and Wisconsin brand names.
The company's stores also offer personal care products,
such as skin care, hair care, and beauty products;
family care products, including portable medical
devices for family use, birth control products, and
early pregnancy test products; and convenience products,
such as soft drinks, packaged snacks, other consumables,
cleaning agents, and stationeries, as well as seasonal
and promotional items. As of December 31, 2008, its
store network comprised 2,709 directly operated stores
located in 12 provinces and 76 municipalities in the
People's Republic of China. The company was founded in
