On Minding One's Own Business I can't see any motive, any advantage to the government of China in lying about health matters. Since it makes no sense I don't believe they are lying. On this issue I agree with you 100%. On the other hand "mind your own business" sounds more than a bit 15th centuryish. Here we are in the 21'st century. This thread is about surviving and even prospering in the midst of busts and hopefully recoveries. More crudely put, we want to get rich. In this century we need to look around the world and jump into opportunities wherever they present themselves. I am a citizen of Canada, a country of 31 million people, obviously not very important. I guess almost every province of China has several times that number of people. So I must perforce pay attention to other countries. I own stocks of ten countries at the moment. One very very interesting country in which to invest is China. So purely from that standpoint I have to welcome discussions about China. And any democratic discussion will have lots of different opinions, some based on facts and inevitably some not. Nonetheless this thread discusses the US, China, France, Zimbabwe you name it, with abandon. Other things being equal, rich people have more influence in this world than poor people. Like others who post on this thread I'd like to be rich so I could do some good. So I can't just mind my own (Canadian, I presume) business.
