Martin Jacques, Understanding the rise of China. |
at first i thought he was overplaying China's rise, neglecting its problems n only stating its achievements but later on he made some good points, glad i didnt stop watching |
Very cool! One of the best speeches I've seen on China. Thanks! :D |
Someone told me, if I am looking for a profit in terms of investment, invest in things China wants. |
Hmm, Revscene doesnt seem too interested. haha |
Revscene doesn't like to think too hard :P :) |
revscene is anti-china after all the troll posts by Spoony |
theres alot of books you can read talking about a sociologists perspective on chinas changing culture when the economy started getting better. I can't remember the book on the top of my head but I'll make sure to find out. |

http://www.amazon.com/Why-West-Rules-Now-Patterns/dp/0374290024 I want to read this, read the intro, very good, thick as a textbook though (which isn't necessarily a bad thing) |

1) Brand New 2) Empty and dusty (cuz of the Sandstorms) 3) Don't even sell traditional goods at all, its all fake LV crap, or tourist trap stuff. The best bit was the Tianjin museum, I got to parts of the museum where its pitch black. Why? They had motion sensor lights. If you read any slower shit would just turn itself off and you had to wave your hand at the sensors. LOL |
Let's look at the other side of the argument. I am sorry but I can't get too damn excited about a country run by a dictatorship government that deprives its people of their fundamental rights and freedom. The wealth gap between the haves and have-nots in China has never been greater. The banks in China have been on a massive lending spree fueling inflation in basic needs like food, energy, and medicine to other assets like real estate. Unemployment also is a major issue in China. If you believe the official data of 4.3% then it doesn't seem so bad. But truthfully on the ground, things are not as rosy as what the figure would suggest. Traffic congestion and pollution in major Chinese cities have become the norm. It seems that the consequences of the last 30 years of major economic expansion are finally catching up to Chinese. Where I see it that the Chinese government is behind the curve on most of the major issues the average Chinese people are facing. Goldman Sachs might be right that in 15 - 20 years, China might be the biggest economy in the world. But honestly, I would rather stay here in Canada and post what I have just posted on RS without the fear of being put into secret prison and have me erased off the system. |
