investments in other countries, as well as foreign investment into China. Many African countries welcome investments by the Chinese-who do not attach conditions such as guarantees of transparency or good governance to their projects. Some human rights activists say they worry that China's policies could prevent Africa from democratizing. They also say that increase trades with China-which often floods African market with cheap finished goods-is bankrupting local manufacturers. China denies accusations by critics, who say its investments are comparable to European colonialism.

To view in-depth research, click the following link: http://www.stockwire.com/detailed/analysis.php?company=VSPC . VIASPACE, Inc. (OTCBB: VSPC) Tuesday's market went up 2.76% to $0.5650 per share, with a total of 197,119 shares traded. The company reported on the emergence of fuel cell technology for portable electronics and the strategy of its Direct Methanol Fuel Cell Corporation subsidiary to capture a significant share of the large projected market for direct methanol fuel cell cartridges. VIASPACE subsidiary Direct Methanol Fuel Cell Corporation (DMFCC) is engaged in developing, obtaining safety certification, manufacturing and distributing disposable methanol fuel cartridges to provide the energy source for laptop computers, cell phones and other portable electronic devices powered by direct methanol fuel cells. DMFCC expects to profit from the growing market for micro fuel cells for portable electronic devices by providing the global fuel cartridge manufacturing, distribution and sales infrastructure the industry requires. The company also offers patent protection for OEMs and manufacturers of direct methanol and other liquid hydrocarbon fuel cells. Methanol fuel cells are expected to gain a substantial market share because they offer operating time two to three times longer than current lithium ion batteries, can support the increased energy demands of additional wireless and television features, are environmentally friendly, and may be instantaneously recharged by simply replacing the disposable fuel cartridge. According to analysts at Freedonia Group commercial demand for fuel cell products and services will increase nearly sevenfold to $2.6 billion in 2009. By 2014, those revenues are expected to reach $13.6 billion. The Darnell Group, ABI Research and other analysts predict an estimated 14 to 22% of notebook computers and 2.5% of mobile phones and other devices will be powered by fuel cells in 2012. Using industry projections for the number of computers and mobile phones with an average usage of 2 to 4 cartridges per month leads to a projection of 2 to 6 billion cartridges sold annually. With an estimated retail price of $3 for phone cartridges and $5 for computers, the DMFCC addressable fuel cartridge market has the potential to reach $8 to 24 billion annually. VIASPACE, Inc. develops space and defense technologies from NASA and the department of defense into hardware and software products in the United States. It offers various products that address homeland security and public safety issues, supply chain management and asset tracking concerns, and deficiencies in delivering portable power to laptops, cell phones, and other electronic devices.
