re slam dunks

I have a friend who is a cardiologist with expertise (cardiotoxicity in cancer patients) that causes him to be in demand for lectures worldwide, and he's been repeatedly to China. He estimates that the Chinese should not be underestimated in their ability to produce effective high-tech devices, and leads me to believe the imaging device could indeed have both clinical use and a genuine market outside China. The fact that they are apparently contemplating US regulatory approval and creating local manufacturing suggests that they see some benefit to NAFTA and the "made in USA" label on high-tech gear.

Given the demand for meat and fruits in a country like China, I think the tax-free agricultural business has serious potential. My inquiries into the medical device suggest that it's better than the crapshoot I initially suspected it was. Also: did you notice E-Sea has a contract to provide screening services? They're getting not just sales revenues, but service revenues. This is interesting.

Take care,
