China, here I come!

I’m getting on a plane tonight for 10 days in China. Hong Kong, Shanghai, and a couple of other less known places. Really excited to see what all the buzz is about. When I was at Web20 and the Milken Conference China was all people could talk about. They threw out this insane stats about there being more crains in China then in the rest of the world, and China importing 40-60% of the world’s various raw materials. Of course, there is always that factoid that there isn’t enough copper to run phones lines for everyone in China, and that there is one phone for every 40 people. I’ll verify all those facts for you guys by the time I get back. :-)

I’ll be online (free high-speed in all the hotels of course), so feel free to email with ideas and people to meet! I’m at “jason at calacanis dot com.”
