You are welcome. >>The desire for automobiles must be intense, however.<< Chinese gov. discourages for individuals owning a car, by high registration fee and other types of fees, which is a right move. And even if so, the road is very crowded. In shanghai, a car registration alone is more expensive than an average car. >>And the need for more electric power.<< The bottle neck for electricity will last at least another 3 years. >> But except for automobiles, it looks as if the average Chinese household is catching up rapidly with Western standards.<< Yeah, Chinese, unlike many westerners, are willing to save money from their food in order to buy some durable goods<g>
