China is still a beacon for money-making, clearly in GE, it's expecting to raise its energy-related revenue by 25% a year for the foreseeable future. That's according to this man right here, GE CEO Jeffrey Immelt, he was in Beijing earlier this week. And actually, revenue will come from things including gas turbines, wind turbines and jet engines, now exact energy revenue numbers aren't available, but the energy division is one of four of the main divisions that GE has in China. The others are here, aviation, transport, as well as health care. And these divisions added this much money to GE's bottom line in 2010, 5 billion dollars. That was a testament to GE's investment in the country, by the year 2014, three years from now, it says it wants to double this number to 10 billion dollars and help to get there. On Wednesday, the company also announced it would put in some seed money in the form of a challenge called the GE Eco-imagination Challenge, and that's gonna be an amount of 100 million dollars, and it'll focus on gas, energy, innovation projects.

But you know, it's not just GE, that's staying plugged into China. Coca-Cola is also committing even more money to the world's most populous country. In August, just last month, it announced it would invest this much money, 4 billion dollars in China in the next three years. It also plans to invest in yet another emerging market and that would be Russia, right here all in green. And reports also from various news agencies say that Coca could actually open up operations in one another country over here, potentially, right here, in North Korea, that might be the most emerging of emerging markets.
