"China is a sleeping giant. Let her lie and sleep, for when she awakens she will astonish the world." In the words of Napoleon China has been fascinating travellers since the days of Marco Polo. Immense in every aspect, China offers the fascinating history of Beijing and Xian, the stunning scenery of Guilin, the famous Yangtze River and the excitment of cosmopolitan Shanghai. A country of contrasts, China will at once overwhelm the traveller with the hectic pace of modern life in the Beijing and Shanghai, and astound visitors to the more rural areas where life is carrying on in much the same way for centuries. Discover China as she races to catch up with the 21st century. lrb.com.au

Think of him, as well as many other economically disadvantaged, as collateral damage of the dramatic development during the last 2 decades in China. Any big social/economic changes have to have some sacrifice. The last 2 decades are pretty much the period of capital accumulation period, and now it is time to switch to a more balanced development with a focus on those less advantaged, and that is exactly what the Chinese gov. are trying to do. Even in a rich country like the US, there are plenty of people living below the poverty line (<= $9,000/year). So under the circumstances, China did pretty good.
