>> Now you enter China with the goal to pen language schools for them to learn English, Spanish etc. They are only Mandarim spoken and only the highly educated speak foreign language and this put the man on the street at disadvantage. << US won’t pay its teachers, but China’s tiger mums are splashing out cash to hire them online Parents flocking to firms that promise to give children the kind of education Americans receive – via the internet scmp.com Cindy Mi leans forward on a couch in her sun-filled Beijing office to explain how she first got interested in education. She loved English so much as a child that she spent her lunch money on books and magazines to practise. By 15, she was good enough to start teaching other students. At 17, she dropped out of high school to start a language-instruction company with her uncle. Today, Mi is 33 and the founder of a start-up that aims to give Chinese children the kind of education American children receive in top US schools. The company, called VIPKid, matches Chinese students aged five to 12 with predominantly North American instructors to study English, mathematics, science and other subjects. Classes take place online, typically for two or three 25-minute sessions each week. Mi is capitalising on an alluring arbitrage opportunity. In China, there are hundreds of millions of children whose parents are willing to pay if they can get high-quality education. In the US and Canada, teachers are often underpaid – and many have quit the profession because they could not make a decent living. Growth has been explosive. The three-year-old company started this year with 200 teachers and has grown to 5,000, now working with 50,000 children. Next year, Mi anticipates she will expand to 25,000 teachers and 200,000 children.

Re <<What the China Nomenklatura is doing, told it would stop doing, and found no alternative and continued in the same path is akin to a child playing with a a loaded gun. And Xi is still trying to cool the hot market China's Xi calls for wide-ranging measures to regulate hot property market. >> ... unsure what your point is. china's property market needs cooling and yet still needs upgrade, zig then zag, by and by, a side show neither here nor there. non-issue as only property developers leveraged, consumers not. bank funds loan, money moves round and round. the customers wish to increase space from whatever sft to whatever else sft. what is the problem? Re <<China has only the inclination and the protocol but it lacks the capability, capacity as I out in one of my first postings that it has a fraction of the population that can work in the modern global economy>> ... too funny, and if so, why are we even discussing the topic, as the no-worries topic ought to be a non-topic, no? in the mean time, hundreds of thousands of self-learning engineers, and scientists and and and. Re <<That happened because the western companies picked China as its manufacturing base ...>> ... There was a choice, was there? perhaps in your imagination there was, and is. Re <<I am a survivor par excellence ... Saudi Arabia ... Indonesia ... Ericsson ... Asia ... >> ... am going to guess that soon brazil would be off limits as the nanjing-traing engineers move in. this is teotwawki at a micro level, that which is enabled by the overarching macro. Re <<The mistake you are making is to think that after China Stalinist economy there will be doom. No. There is no doom. There will be China Light. Here is what you should do.>> ... the mistake you make is believing China is a stalinist economy, and to compound the error, thinking that China 2.0 has not yet been tee-ed up. Re <<Now you can tell the Chinese: You do not need coal. You need to employ the masses freed from the Stalinist economy into the service economy. >> ... coming right up, modular and manufactured (as opposed to built in situ) nuclear reactors for export, that which enhances china as an energy exporter, and event on no news channels. The service economy is actually ramping, per core comrade jinping's prime directive, etc etc Re <<Get 5 million surplus workers and make them taxi drivers for Uber China ... ... ... English, Spanish ... They are only Mandarim (sic) spoken and only the highly educated speak foreign language and this put the man on the street at disadvantage.>> ... too hard, and Uber had its head handed to it in China. ... re language education, there are too many in China who can operate in second and third languages, and more who can read-only. competition is too tough, and i like easy. call me lazy. i am instead proposing to align teeth for all the good reasons (demographics, history, economics, etc etc) and am aiming to go weapons-free on this side of 2018 06 30.
