Benny Chan’s A Moment of Romance swiftly establishes the narrow perimeter of the world that triad member Wah Dee (Andy Lau) inhabits. Though Dee cuts a profile of louche cool in his denim jackets and sleek motorcycle, the gangster getaway driver moves through the emptiest and least exotic realms of the criminal underworld.

He treats his bosses with the usual differences demanded by organized crime’s rigid power structures, and they in turn speak to him as little more than an indentured servant.

China sourcing fairs are taking over Africa.
Ever wonder about the ways massive amount of products from China make it to Uganda, Nigeria, or South Africa? (Not counting China's initial sourcing--or some might say ravaging--of materials from the continent). Sourcing fairs, for one. The largest ever "Greater China-products exhibition" launched today in Johannesburg, South Africa, further solidifying Africa-China business ties.
The exhibition is home to 640 booths showcasing China's range of products relevant to Africa's business needs, such as manufacturers of consumer electronics, gifts and premiums, home products, fashion accessories, garments and textiles, and hardware and building materials.
"Continental Africa and South Africa specifically are markets in which Greater China manufacturers are very interested. China trade with Africa expanded 39.5% to $27.92 billion in the first seven months of 2009, reflecting growing demand for China-made products," said Tommy Wong, President of Global Sources Exhibitions, in a press release.
The exhibition also includes exhibitors from India,...
