General Electric (NYSE: GE) is taking advantage of the world's infrastructure boom. The 2008 Beijing Olympics will not just be a show of China's new wealth, but will also showcase the talents of GE. GE has helped transform Beijing from a backward second-rate capital city into a world-class destination fit to host the Olympics. From security and power to clean water and transportation, GE has been instrumental to the preparation of Beijing. The Olympics will be an advertisement for GE's world-class infrastructure and construction capabilities. GE is also hoping that its success with the Olympics will make it the choice for further Chinese infrastructure developments for the Asian Games and the Shanghai World Expo in 2010. The two events have planned budgets of around $30 billion and $50 billion respectively.
