In this race for global resources, China is way out in front. China, Moyo reveals, has embarked on one of the greatest commodity rushes in history.

Is it true only for China?
Any how, why not we discuss for alternative plan for resources, in fact for the whole world now, before it is getting late? Let's invest more time on it, as well, hereafter.

What resources are you reffering to? As far as I know, China is far behind US in field of outerspace and ocean resources. Do you think China is a threat and pushes the world to a un-balanced situation? Looking forward to your reply.

As coal demand falls in the US and grows in Asia, US coal companies need to increase exports to continue growing. Proposed export terminals would increase coal exports to Asia by 150 million tons/year. Do you think the US should build these coal export terminals and expand domestic coal mining?

What, specifically, must the West do in order to contain or eliminate these fundamental, structural oversights that have plagued them for the past few decades? What reforms would be prudent enough to halt, or even reverse, these globally significant, economic imbalances?

Might innovative asset classes that overcome issues faced by Western private investors betting on Subsaharan private companies (limited accounting transparency, limited liquidity of local markets) help to raise the appeal of such investments? Thank you v.m.!
