Previous | Next :: Night Falls but Global Trade Goes On : Containers Piled High and Leaving by Road : Felixstowe Docks : UK | November 7, 2010, 7:21 pm

As China appears to be building up for a showdown with the USA this coming week at the G20 summit in Seoul....... I thought it might be good to go with another image from the trusty container series..........

This one made as darkness falls at Felixstowe docks on the UK's East Coast...... Trucks are still rolling out with their containers full of the products of globalization ....... basically they are overwhelming full of stuff from China.........

The FT quotes experts on this weeks summit : 'The mood has soured since the G20 Toronto summit in June and worry that unless the summit can patch up differences on trade imbalances and exchange rates, the outlook for international economic agreement is poor'....... in other words there is gonna be a bit of a bust up.......... and thats on the inside....... never mind the outside where thousands are gathered to protest.

Whatever happens in Seoul the likelihood is tomorrow The Port of Felixstowe will handle 10,000 containers....... like it does most days........ and my guess is...... thats not gonna change in a big hurry .........

PS......... Wall St Journal Number of the Week....... $10,200,000,000,000,.00 ............ in other words 10.2 Trillion..............

Aggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh............. it doesn't say that this is just way to much............ but it does say who knows what is too much to be sustained ? ........ who knows but hey that seems an awful lot......... :-)) :-) :-/
