Najib. China. You Gotta Serve Somebody

Is the 1979 hit for Nobel laureate Bob Dylan .

The lyrics to this song goes something like this :

You may be a business man or some high degree thief
They may call you Doctor or they may call you Chief.

But you're gonna have to serve somebody, yes indeed
You're gonna have to serve somebody,
Well, it may be the devil or it may be the Lord
But you're gonna have to serve somebody.

Well, You Gotta Serve Somebody alrite, and most likely when PM Najib was in China, he was SERVING Y O U .

Bloomberg has the story, on how China is changing South East Asia, at a speed like NEVER before, and how leaders in this region are fighting for that SPEED . Read story below :

China’s investment is transforming its smaller Southeast Asian neighbors like never before while helping turn Cambodia, Laos and Myanmar into bigger destinations for its exports.

That’s driving some of the world’s fastest economic growth rates and providing Chinese companies with low-cost alternatives as they seek to move capacity out of the country. It’s also helping Asia’s largest economy and nations in its orbit adapt to what looks more and more like a new era of waning U.S. commitment to the region from a more inward-looking administration of President-elect Donald Trump.

"China’s definitely looking at these countries in general as an area where it can sell products and get good return for its investments," said Edward Lee, an economist with Standard Chartered Plc in Singapore. "China itself is getting more expensive for its companies, and that’s reinforcing this trend."
