...and between now and when the Beijing Olympic Games open this summer, I fear that 140 is going to go up.
Problem is, nobody's likely to do anything about it. China's too big a player in the new global economy for anyone to really take action against. Who wants to threaten them with sanctions, knowing it could cost them the country's business?
Yeah, that number's going to go up. Way, way up.
