I have had many of those experiences, but in Vietnam, rather than China..and I cherish them. We'll be going back soon, I can't wait. We build water projects for the very poor minority hilltribe peoples in central Vietnam. caretohelp.org

China's unwelcome growth: joblessness RICHARD HALLORAN FOR THE STRAITS TIMES THERE'S a flip side to the China growth story, and it's the story of the growing numbers of unemployed. The multitude of people out of work or in meagre part-time jobs is soaring upwards of 300 million, and it is affecting the nation's foreign policy, the People's Liberation Army, China's internal politics and, of course, its economic progress. These 300 million people form 40 per cent of China's labour force of 740 million and are a throng larger than the entire United States population. The US Central Intelligence Agency reports that unemployment in developing nations often runs to 30 per cent, compared with 4 to 12 per cent in industrial nations. Consequently, Chinese leaders have made generating jobs a priority equal to economic growth. straitstimes.asia1.com.sg
