China is very much like NYC's Five Points district in the 1800's except it involves millions and millions of Alpha types. It is just a matter of time before they (the corrupt underworld) will control all in collaboration with the already massively corrupt Chinese Government. This does not signal a collapse or downturn of the Chinese Govt.....it is just the way it is and is going to be. The Gazillion man standing Red Army will maintain the status quo and keep the "Black Societie's" in check. Thanks for the news article...

The leadership now still do not see the link between endemic corruption and organized crime — or "wall street - military industrial christian fundamentalist axis" in english — as no threat to the nation's continuing existence, and not denting the elite's popularity. "In reality organized crime is now in full and absolute control of the usa government because it penetrates deep into the society and economy and brings about and perpetuates bureaucratic corruption," said tobagojack, a casual observer of obvious truth on freedom island hong kong.

Cycling in Chinese city is anything but leisurely news.yahoo.com When the economy began stumbling last year, some of the earliest signs of trouble in this industrial southern city were on the roads. On my early morning rides, I noticed far fewer migrant workers pedaling to work in their yellow hard hats with shovels and toolboxes strapped to their rusty, squeaky black bikes. Many had been laid off and returned to the countryside. Although officials were denying reports of a wave of factory closures, I was finishing my rides much faster because I didn't have to weave through the pedaling multitudes. Assembly lines were shutting down and millions of migrant workers were going back to the countryside. Those throngs are an iconic image for China, but it's becoming outdated. Led by a swelling middle class, people in Guangzhou and other cities are ditching bikes for clean, new subway trains. And cars. Two years ago, Guangzhou proudly announced that the number of cars on its roads had reached 1 million. The metropolis of 10 million people has several auto factories, and aspires to be China's Detroit. Last year, 180,000 new vehicles hit the city's roads, the government said. That's nearly 500 a day.
