A few years ago a friend who spends 6 months per year in Hong Kong asked me how metropolitan cities in the USA have a population of 5,000,000 or more. I said 3; NYC, LA and Chicago. He ask me to guess have many there were in China, I said 4, he laughed and told be there were 20 cities the size of Chicago or bigger. It was that moment that made me aware that I was asleep with regards to China and it was time to start learning. Don't judge people too harshly for still be asleep when you find them. Find a way to awaken them to China. Your approach only closes there eyes harder. FWIW. China is a great country on it's way to becoming a great power. People seem to me where they were with Japan about 1976. 10 years later Japan had whopped Yanks manufacturing butt and suddenly the Yanks were curious about Japan - wide awake. I hope Japan can find the will to reform their banking system soon. I am losing hope that they will ever recover. Paul
