"Remember, control is more important to the communist party than prosperity."

Sounds like it's still pretty important to *you* too... since you seem to be lining up with the Communist bosses who want to keep their Command-driven economic system, and their ability to mandate from the top down every little detail, and lining up *against* free trade rules applying to everyone.... :-(

"Rapid economic change would create a wild West mentality and the communist party would find controlling its population increasingly difficult."

LOL! (If you don't count year-after-year-after-year of 9% to 11% annual growth in GNP as "rapid economic change" then I shudder to imagine what your threshold for "rapid change" may be, Peter! :-)

Sounds like they've already BEEN THERE (& still ARE) for quite a WHILE now....

[You think the Communist Party Bosses are 'afraid' of TOO MUCH prosperity instead of NOT ENOUGH prosperity? What a peculiar concept!]

Popular saying in China: 'getting RICH is GLORIOUS!'

Popular saying in the US: 'You can never be TOO RICH or TOO THIN.'
