Yiwu the Mad hasn't heard of the USA: <the main reason for the rich to do so is that they get their money illegally. There is NO any country in the world where people can become millionaires or even billionaires in a few years by doing legal work. > Dr Irwin Jacobs, $ill Gates and many others, are billionaires, achieved perfectly legally and to the great benefit of their customers, employees, shareholders and USA tax department. When dopey governments start doing dopey things, then people providing what the governments want can get a lot of money in a short time too. Perfectly legally. It's the old envy thing Yiwu. You see people with money and assume that they must have done something bad to get it. That's not how money works. You get money by doing good things for other people who pay you for doing the good things. Do the right thing and you get heaps. The pathetic envious people have an inflated sense of their own importance and find it hard to imagine how other people can do better than they are doing. Yiwu the Mad fails to understand global integration and wants to bring back poverty: <China has been, pretty much, hollowed out by them. And now with China's WTO promising of opening up all their business completely getting near, the foreigners are starting to buy up what has left. China is quick becoming one biggest colony in the world. > Hollowed out? Hahahaha!! China is booming. Profits are tremendous. Salaries are rising. Of course foreigners are buying. There are profit opportunties. They make profits by buying, investing, producing, selling and making swarms of Chinese customers or foreign customers happy with their purchases. How are the preparations for murderous manouevres going? Murder is the skill of totalitarians - not investment, profit and keeping customers happy. Totalitarians don't like peace, light, harmony, happiness, health, prosperity, longevity, fun, love and those wonderful anodyne CDMA phragmented photons suffusing the aether. Yiwu the Mad proves the point. Mqurice

IMHO, Ms. Zhang, you are making yourself unnecessarily unhappy by an exaggerated picture of the flight of capital out of China. First of all, China is the place to make money because its economy is growing faster than that of all the others Money taken out of China can no longer grow so fast. Second, the Chinese government would find it easier to get criminals like Lai Chang Xing deported back to China if there was a trustworthy rule of law. How's the following for illogic? The People's Government has never arrested anybody by mistake. And it will never do so. If there is any doubt about the crime then the suspected person is never arrested. I have heard this many times from officials of the Chinese government. There is set up a system called ping fan, wherein those who were unjustly arrested in the past can be reinstated with a good name in the society. If you are following the logic you can see that the set of people who benefitted from ping fan must be empty, as a mathematician says, since nobody has ever been arrested unjustly. This kind of logic proves the absence of the rule of law and is the main reason why deportation of accused criminals back to China is difficult. The rule of law will come, sooner or later.
