In a very lengthy article Forbes a few years back described the Pearl River Delta as the fastest growing population and economic center on earth. It is in china and is territory north of Macau and Hong Kong which are located on both sides of the Pearl River.
It is the land of Taipan
The area has grown by tens of millions of people and has asI recall the 13th largest Gross Domestic Product in the world. It is populated by mostly young upwardly mobile people that enjoy prosperity and relative freedom never before experienced in China.
I think the same can be said of Shanghai which is China’s most populous city. It is not the way things were. It is architecturally up to date and the population is just different. They have the stuff we have. They apparently have pretty good lives. Better, much better than under real communism of the past.
What do they want? I will argue we don’t know.
As the President says....... we’ll see
wow. thanks man
yeah i don’t see how prosperity and communism have worked together quite well to some extent.
is it really still pure communism or some hybrid of...I don’t know.
