Quote Of Note
"The Chinese have a very aggressive long-term program to increase the technology content of their economy. There is no way to argue with that, all you have to do is look at how fast their R&D intensity as a nation has increased. It is way beyond what is happening here. So, it's no wonder when people forecast where the center of growth is going to be. They have the numbers. They have the strategy. They are making the investments."
-- Greg Tassey, Chief Economist, National Institute of Standards and Technology
