I’m working out of Beijing China and wanted to know if you wish to open up a segment on your site about China barter.

I work in the shipping and petroleum business and wonder if the shift to a Europetro dollar will add to the quickening of barter discussions in the Wall Street Journal.

If you want to open up a discussion on these ideas, let me know.
