Further thought: I strikes me that after China has suffered through despotic dynasties, the British and Catholic manipulations, and the Commie revolution. The deep-down general desire must be for a little prosperity and reduced government control in their lives. My grasp of history in the area is very poor, but the Chinese I have known in Central America were VERY hard working and effective businessmen. They may have only been operating large, commercial vegetable gardens, in some cases, but they housed and cared for their families - and did quite well. The Chinese culture is thousands of years older that the Commie stupidity that has racked the country since Stalin's time. The US was described as a "sleeping giant" by Yamamoto during WWII. I think that description is appropriate for China today. This country is going to stand up, throw off its shackles, and kick ever-lovin' butt (in the nice sense - economically)! The firm I worked for recently in Virginia (DPR Inc of S.F., CA) is building a huge Semi-plant somewhere in China right now. It cost $2 Billion minimum to build a chip plant in the US. To build one in China - without the high tech base - has to be twice that! As I've tried to point out, people are people! Mommies and daddies want their babies to giggle, be happy and healthy, and have comfy surroundings. After that, they want to have a sufficient chow and a few "comfies" for themselves. All those matters attended to, everyone wants some "stuff"! The train has already left the station. Nothing is going to stop this from happening, and LGOV is "right smack in the muddle of evr'thin" with the right products at the right time. LGOV is operating on the Procter & Gamble formula for success; you want to be there with the real basic "stuff" that people have to buy over-&-over again. First a gas line, then a water heater, then a washer-dryer set, then a box of Tide and a bottle of Downy! "......LET"S ROCK...."!! If you have a share of LGOV today - you've got MONEY IN THE BANK! If you don't, you better read the history of XEROX, WINNEBAGO, MICROSOFT, etc.; and get your checkbook out pretty darn quick! The 48' "Dusty Rose" will be sailing from pier-6 very, very soon! (...and I'm in charge of Spinnakers and Margueritas!!!!) :-)
