Just two months to go, after a 210-minute opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympics to spread the essence of Chinese culture to the world, the games will be broadcasted and reported world-wide. The Chinese authorities (people) have been waiting for the moment in at least 15 years. While this will be a right moment for celebration when a country shows its wealth, stability, and confidence at the start of the 21st century after nearly 100 years dealing with civil wars, famines, and self-isolation; some of Chineses neighbors such as Japan and India might recognize Chineses economic and political revival as their challenges, especially in energy resources.

She was thrust into the limelight after being accused of forging her late husband's will in order to inherit his fortune. She later won an eight-year battle to clear her name and give her control of multinational corporation Chinachem. Wang was Asia's 35th richest person, with a fortune of $4.2bn, according to Forbes magazine. Wang became famous when her businessman husband Teddy was kidnapped 15 years ago. He was never seen again and nine years later he was declared dead. His estate was valued at around $5bn, and his widow and father each presented a very different version of his will. The one Nina Wang had, which was handwritten, left his fortune to her. But the elder Mr Wang insisted his was the authentic will which proved that he was the rightful heir. He began a civil case against his daughter-in-law, accusing her of forgery, but in 2005, after an eight-year court battle, she won the fight to clear her name and keep the money.

At the United Nations Conference on Climate Change in Bali, the group argued developed countries should pay to address the problem, and costs could top $50 billion a year. Climate change, which many scientists believe is fueled by human activities, alters rain cycles and causes droughts and flooding. Rising temperatures mean some traditional crops do not grow as well as they used to. The United Nations predicts that in some African countries, crop yields could fall by half. A report released by Oxfam at the conference some countries are already feeling the effects of a warming planet. In South Africa, farmers are planting faster-maturing crops to adapt to unpredictable
