The 1st Store of Coca Cola in North Korea

[bluesky79]

Coca Cola is going to be opened in North Korea.
Coca Cola is one of the popular franchise brands and it has a lot of chains in the whole world. Even Nepal (Its GNP is $550) has one in Kathmandu.

This Power brand Coca Cola finally pulled down the fort North Korea. Although we should watch the situation considering its unique national policy. "North Korea accepted a symbol of capitalism" It means that North Korea may be trying to get changed gradually like China.


I hope that many good world companies will enter into North Korea and make it more changed positively for North Korean people.

The only thing that needs to be changed in North Korea is every fucking speck of that inhuman regime. The long-suffering people of North Korea won't be dowing a cold one any time soon. That subhuman monster and his lackeys will be washing down their gourmet food and shitting on gold toilets while the people are starved into cannibalism in that fucking hell-hole of a country.

That must have been part of the Korean free trade agreement that Obama signed recently.

Asia faces uncertainty and change...

Viewpoint: A year of transition, uncertainty and change
2 January 2012 - China's continued economic expansion is key to the region's overall growth

In the Chinese Zodiac, 2012 is the Year of the Water Dragon - marking a year of transition, uncertainty and change. The Asia-Pacific economies certainly face considerable uncertainty as well as headwinds in 2012, with the eurozone already sliding into recession at the end of 2011, while the momentum of US economic recovery - although encouraging in recent months - remains moderate at best. The Year of the Dragon will also be a year characterised by political uncertainty, with presidential elections in the US and France, as well as leadership change in China. In autumn 2012, the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China will elect the new Central Committee and Politburo Standing Committee members.

The current President Hu Jintao and Premier Wen Jiabao are due to step down from the Standing Committee to make way for the next generation of leaders from whom the new Chinese president and premier will be appointed in March 2013. Despite the political and economic uncertainties facing the global economy, the Asia-Pacific (Apac) is forecast to continue to be the fastest growing region of the world economy in 2012, with growth rising to 5.3% from 4.5% in 2011. This forecast is based on the IHS Global Insight central case scenario that the eurozone experiences only a mild recession in 2012, with gross domestic product (GDP) declining by 0.7%, while moderate positive growth continues in the US, at a pace of 2.0%.

Supporting pillars

Three key factors underpin the resilience of Apac economic growth. First, as I mentioned, the continued US economic recovery in 2012. Second, China - the world's second-largest economy - is expected to have a soft landing in 2012, with growth moderating to 7.8%, rather than a major slowdown that some fear. Domestic demand is expected to underpin economic growth momentum, with latest economic data showing retail sales up 17.3% in November on a year ago, and fixed asset investment in November up 21.2% year-on-year. The Chinese government has also embarked on a programme to build 36 million housing units for low-income households over 2011-2015, with construction of the first 10 million of these units having commenced in 2011.

Continued growth in Chinese demand for exports from the rest of Asia will help to mitigate the impact of weaker export demand from the recession-hit eurozone. Third, the Japanese economy is expected to achieve a moderate rebound in 2012, due to the normalisation of industrial production and the impact of fiscal stimulus, as post-disaster reconstruction steps up. Japanese industrial production is forecast to grow by 9.5% in 2012, after a 2.8% decline in 2011. This Japanese growth rebound provides a third important mitigating factor to the impact of the eurozone recession.

Weak links?

Large protest forms in central China
Tue, Jan 03, 2012 - Thousands of protesters converged on a train station in central China, angered over collapsing illegal investment schemes that residents said the government had failed to staunch, according to news reports and a government notice yesterday.

On Sunday, the protesters faced rows of police at the railway station in Anyang, Henan Province, where some residents said they wanted to board trains to Beijing to lodge their complaints, Hong Kong’s Ming Pao daily reported. Pictures in that paper and on a Chinese microblogging site showed thousands of people milling around the square in front of the station, while police watched. The photographs, which could not be verified, showed no scenes of violence. However, news reports over past months have shown that collapsing illegal investment schemes have become a serious problem for the government in Anyang, a heavily rural area of 5.2 million people about 500km southwest of Beijing.

The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) worries that the tens of thousands of sporadic protests over land grabs, corruption and economic grievances that break out across the country every year could coalesce into discontent that threatens its control. And Anyang, with its mix of economic grievances and suggestions of corruption, illustrates the discontent driving many protests. On Monday, the Anyang government issued a notice acknowledging the protest and vowed to take tougher action against the investment schemes, that have promised investors much higher returns than can be gained from banks. “On New Year’s Day, our city experienced a mass demonstration by some people who participated in illegal investments,” the notice from Anyang CCP Secretary Zhang Guangzhi said. Although officials managed to contain the protest, Zhang said, “this incident has exposed weak links in our handling of the illegal investment schemes.”

In October, a Chinese newspaper, the 21st Century Business Herald, reported that many operators of the illegal investment vehicles in Anyang had fled as their schemes for generating high returns from real estate and other investments began to unravel. Police have also launched investigations into schemes involving hundreds of suspects, the Ming Pao newspaper said. However, Web sites for Anyang residents have echoed with allegations that officials were tardy in cracking down on the schemes. “If the government hadn’t abetted this, there would never have been so many illegal investment schemes,” said one earlier message on the Chinese Internet operator Baidu.com’s site for Anyang residents.
