I guess they (ChiComs) figure they have plenty of ‘replacements’...for now. :(
Friend of mine was working in China for a couple of weeks and ran into a very junior official in Beijing. It was just after the Olympics they had banned vehicle traffic to clear the air. He asked the official why they don’t keep banning traffic, since it would be healthier for their people. The guy replied...”no problem...China has MANY people.” Point is, they don’t care. This is a way of thinning their herd. The only problem for them is it’s affecting others outside their borders now.
