To John b,

You put a long answer here to show us that you hardly know much about China, have you been to China? Or do you have any Chinese friends???  

Most people living in big cities like Beijing, Shanghai, Hong Kong, own properties.

You have just made yourself a fool here!

My answer to this question.

There are just too many things you can learn from China, China also need to learn a lot from different countries.

Answer 12

Thank goodness for Shakeys answer - couldnt agree more....I was beginning to think the rest of the world was full of xenophobic morons (oops that will get me some thumbs down for sure!) Especially agree re the emmissions - China has only just taken over but has a much bigger population. Also they have big plans to have a much higher proportion of their power from renewable resources by 2015 than most countries including USA and they are doing that while still developing  - unlike other developed countries in the west who did nothing about emmissions until theywere rich. (oops more thumbs down) So we can learn some things - open your eyes and see if your media will allow. I'm lucky enough to have been there to see that eveything that is happening is not bad and people as a whole are great, positive and resourceful.

Answer 13

How to control the people with brutality or how about torture and lack of human rights.

Answer 14

....largest differnce between cultures of USA and China is that 'culpability' does not exist in China

...Americans are born and raised to consider liability and culpability' in their daily activities and in the responsible managment of their personal property

....since Chinese do not own any property, and their lives are hypersimplified, directly the result of aggressive communist governance....culpability is not even a remote question in the minds of 1.3 billion Chinese peasants

...look at the government of all mainland Asian countries and see for yourself what type of government is required in order to maintain control of the 'inhabitants'

....look at the two largest countries in the east....Russia and China, now look at every country connected to those, what type of government is required to manage the 'inhabitants'?

...in China the people have enormous amounts of 'Nationalist' pride

....the tradition of China has been the same for 6000 to 10,000 years....absolute 'iron-fisted' control of people....by Dyanastic Kings, Warloords and Emperors/Empresses and by communist party chairmen and premier

....(go ahead, f---k up in China, see what the legal system has in store for it's people).

...the country is ruled by absolute fear....just mention to a mainlander some criticism of China, or sanitation, or traffic control, or air-pollution and watch thier face turn away, look at the floor, or the sky, or anywhere but at the problem....then listen to their reply "what problem?....no problem!...if there is a problem, then the government will fix it" (wo da tienna! lol)

....China is not a threat to anyone though.....they are mired in a 'minset' of mediocraty and a 'nationalist pride'

....and DO NOT ever expect any significant changes to come out of China.....they have their traditions to uphold here

.....even air-pollution could be improved by using hydrogen gas fuel to replace coal, however, true to tradtional form, China will not try a change due to economic confusion

....the system is set-up to give a lot of money to certain people who deliver coal....namely the CCP government leaders and their very closely and carefully selected friends

....any change brings a 'new dog' to the fight, and in China a new dog is no good!!!

....this is China!

Answer 15

How to mind our own business.

Answer 16

Five thousand years of things to learn and there is no way you can learn all.  Take a close look at the Opening Ceremony of the Olympic Games in Beijing and you can learn quite allot if you want to pick & learn.  The Award winning movie director has done a great job with his years of experiences to make it real with the unreal things and the use of multi-projection to combine into a scene to be believed.

The Chinese has the experience and learning of what is communism, socialism and democracy in the process of coming out a moderated recipe to taste and feel the modern needs to fulfil.

Seen the dynasties, the revolutions, the modernisation, all in super huge scale ..... now for you to compare them in your own way to realise the truth of proper civil & social development and make contribution to the world of today.

Answer 21

These days, I came to yahoo answers often.

I found that many people hated China just because they are informed with some falsehood which is be spread by some profit western media.

Pollution, FALU GONG, Tibet, human rights.

I don't want to criticize anyone here who has not been to China.

As a Chinese I am, I don't want to favor our country.

I have words to all of you who has not been to China:"PLZ DON'T BELIEVE YOUR WESTERN TVS AND SITES TOO MUCH. SOME TIMES THEY ARE EXPARTE OR UNHONEST."

I know you are bot born to against China. You hate China because you receive some stuff which is offerred by western media about China are almost bad.

CHINA WELCOME YOU. PLZ COME TO CHINA. YOU CAN KNOW CHINA WITH YOUR OWN EYES INSTEAD OF YOUR MEDIA.
