We should choose our friends wisely

Colin Donald's perceptive article on Denis Taylor's serious question about the Scottish Government's "China Plan" is most timely (International trade expert queries value of Scotland's China plan, Business, January 6).

Taylor's actual estimated benefit of 0.05% is probably reasonable. East Asia usually refers to the two Chinas, South Korea, and Japan. Leaving South Korea to one side, is it not time to ask who Scotland's reliable friends are in that region and about the benefits thus far reaped?
