The New York Times 5. Nov. 2013
BERLIN ― The German government said Monday that it had been informed months ago about a valuable trove of art discovered in a Munich apartment, which a German magazine describes as a collection of hundreds of works confiscated by the Nazis or sold cheaply by people desperate to leave Germany.
The magazine, Focus, which broke the story on Sunday, said the roughly $1.4 billion worth of artworks had been discovered in 2011 in the possession of the son of an art dealer who was among the few authorized by Joseph Goebbels, Hitler’s propaganda chief, to sell confiscated works for the Nazis.
Focus said the collection included paintings by Picasso, Matisse, Franz Marc and Max Beckmann, and that the trove was found customs officials investigating the art dealer’s son, Cornelius Gurlitt,for suspected tax evasion.

China Crisis As Cracks Appear In Economy
April 12, 2013 By Lisa Smith
China’s position as the country of choice for manufacturers is coming under threat because of growing economic problems.
For many people in the West, the issues being highlighted will sound familiar as the reasons given for closing factories and moving production to China in the first place.
Chinese factory wages have rocketed in recent years – quadrupling in the last 10 years alone, and the building of factories is in decline as younger people choose not to work elsewhere.
In addition, the country’s labour force has begun to shrink because of the Chinese ‘one child’ policy and an increasingly ageing population.
China’s relatively recent decline has led to a boom in other countries in the Asia Pacific region, such as Cambodia which is helping to underline their growing influence as emerging economies.
Investment moving out
Foreign firms are increasingly setting-up the operations in cities like Phnom Penh where wages are still a fraction of those paid in China.
