You are keen on telling others what they understand.

>>I know very clearly that there are enormous challenges facing China. I also know that China is a place that most people understand only through outdated stereotypes. <<

Cannot agree more. Most people in the West goes from one extreme to another. They were in denial about the change in China until recent years. But then all of a sudden, they realized the change, and claim China becoming a threat, as if China could become a developed country very soon. They forget that despite all those economic development, China is still a developing country in terms of health care, social welfare... and will remain so for another decade or two.

Now after the SARS outbreak, these people immediately jump back to the old China-bashing wagon. when can they acquire some balanced view point?

Did you get that, GST? I'll also add that until Chinese have true liberty they can't foster the creativity and inventiveness needed to become a global economic engine.

Being outsourcer for the world is not enough. It's a great start, but not enough.
