Article Summary #9: Google Maps adds biking directions

I found this article interesting because it is an additional service offered that is relevant to my point of view.

Indeed, people are more and more concerned by environmental issues, so if they are encouraged to do so, they will be likely to use bicycle insted of cars for transport means. Thanks to this application, cyclists will know where the suitable roads are and it will be more secure for them and for car drivers to drive.

Moreover, for the moment, the concept only exists in the USA but we hope that it will be provided in countries that use a lot bicycles, such as Holland or China.

Article Summary #7: Time for US to treat China equally

China is currently the second world power but is still considered by Westerners as an emerging country and the "world workshop".

But China is fed up with this image and starts now to reinforce its position on the world frontstage.

Moreover, China becomes more and more powerful as it owns now the biggest part of the US debt.

So, the US and the world in general had better to change its point of view about China and consider it as a new economical power that also some power on world political matters.

China raises its voice and is decided to be heard.
