Here is just another sign that China is not only a huge potential marketplace for US companies, but also a huge source of competition for future market-share. 

Google is having difficulty breaking into the market in China and China is the number 2 Internet market in the world.  Who is Google losing out to? Beijing based Baidu.com 

If Google is having difficulty, won’t others in other industries run up against stiff competition?  If Google is willing to go to great lengths to gain market dominance in China, doesn’t that also tell us about the potential of China from a business standpoint?  Google isn’t doing this for fun.  It also translates into a country that is growing and will be growing the wealth of it’s population, thus giving Hawaii another real estate market segment of Buyers in the future.  Something I have discussed before.
