Observations of China

United Tech CEO on TV. (CNBC).

China has HALF of world's Elevator market  (UTX owns otis)  , can you imagine that.
And my understanding is China produces more than half of world steel.

He said Copper price is not coming back up as China is not using humougous amount like before.
From Industrialized economy to Consumer economy.

I can imagine there
i am currently confused with the contor's function /devil's staircase.

Two sessions in China March 3/5 started.

It will follow supply side economy (Reagan policy) which means smaller government involvement.
Interesting.

Less regulation, lower tax to encourage more products and services to be created and therefore consumed and mulitplier effect to have higher GDP.

WILLIAMS

in my mind, China has too many problems,
As a developing country, although it has huge GDP as No2 in the world descent to US
that does not imply high living standard of citizens' life
that living condition in china is too harsh to tolerate

If you grew up in China since kindergarten, you life is full of scars and miseries and psychological traumas.
The most ridiculous thing is gaokao 高考,
as i told you , the stupid teacher taught us how to sing "get up at 6 am and lets study together"song
can you image this kind of song?
this is not art, not a pretty music, but nothing more than political propaganda,

Think why rich people give birth to their kids in the West , Canada, US , Australia
or the last resort HK.
WHY
the mainland education is nothing but a ridiculous joke.

A student need academics, but fun, life, connection, joke, relationship too
a person is not machine, not prisoner but a person with many kinds of needs according to Maslow's need triangle.

THERE are a minority of rich in china, majority poor
the infrastructure is poor too. health care poor, public service poor.

people are no manner, money oriented,
no social responsibility.  NO faith.

WILLIAMS

As i said, china gave me too many scars. that is the main reason i do not want to go back there

The news, the reports etc are the indirect information you have
i got some direct information and experience in China, i was born there and grew up there,
when you have direct experience, the opinion on the subject matter would change radically from the opinion from news etc as a spectator.

The spectator ship as we said in media study is sometime cherished, but has its limitations.

The social culture economic framework in China is really problematic.

China is not like the european patient spain.
but another illed patient,
china may be a sleeped lion, but this "lion" is not only sleepy but illed.
When i was little, the environment is not good but i did not see PM2.5
Nowadays, we have pm2.5 everywhere,
and people more rude than before,

It is improving with Xi.
Have faith in him.

But look at all the infrastructure built (mind you, with borrowed money) is a lot more advanced than the west.  Massive rural to urban migration.

Can you image what your parents go through if they went thru the 50,60's.  Farm collectives, Many Flowers blooming, Culturral Revolution.  The fact anyone who is intellect or from Capitalist family will be ruled anti communist no matter what.  Unfair but painful.

What you encountered is nothing in comparison.
I went through the Univ Entrance Exam in HK too.  So I know what you went through.

But to be honest, this society is like a village compared to China.  

Look forward to see more China and HK in May.

Try to book trip for Sept before my China Visa expires, need new Passport to get new Visa.

Have you ever been to West Europe and Scandinavians?
The view there is breath taking. A shame if you not
I did not mean efl tower or big ben
france is a beautiful country, holland germany too.
To be honest, Canada and US , can never be compared with the cultural and historical accumulation , beauty in france.
