<....the girls are more natural, require less maintenance, generally happier, more lively, more independent, more adaptable, less fussy, more presentable, and smarter than the HK variety. Our treasury secretary married the Olympic diver 30 years his junior, and is simply the talk of the town, mostly of the admiration from guys or envy variety from the ladies. The times are changing fast:0)>

No Jay, the times are not changing. We are merely on Act I Scene IV.

In Scene II, the British Empire was growing rapidly and China had met Marco Polo and Captain Cook was staking a claim around the globe.

Lovely native maidens in the South Pacific were more natural, required less maintenance, were generally happier, more lively, more independent, adaptable, less fussy, more presentable and smarter ... and where have I heard that recently?

Plus ca change Jay.

After the Mayflower landed, there were Sioux squaws who were more natural, required less maintenance, were generally happier, more lively, more independent, adaptable, less fussy, more presentable and smarter.

But think of CB for example. Times change and empires mature.

Jay, women were not invented yesterday or with Chairman Mao's Cultural Revolution or with Jiang Zemin's Three Represents [or 4 if you include wining and dining for the boss class].

The money chases the girls and the girls play that "more natural... blah blah blah..." part while their price is low. Their price will rise as fast as China's GDP per capita. Their nature will metamorphose too.

You know how it works.

China is no different.
