  3. “When the sleeping dragon awakes the world will quake”Napoleon Bonaparte • Li Wen is on a shopping trip that is transforming the planet. As she pushes a trolley through her local Wal-Mart, the Shenzen businesswoman looks the epitome of the global consumer. The goods she picks – rice, chicken – are not that different from those of a shopper in London or Tokyo, nor is the money she spends (£100). • It may be hard to imagine a less exotic image of the Orient but this is the new China dream. By achieving it Mrs Li & her trolley are at the vanguard of one of the most dramatic developments of our age: the rise of China from an inward-looking agricultural nation to an industrial behemoth that is scouring the planet for energy, food & minerals. • Guardian, Nov 2005
