China has its share of loons. The 21st Century will be China’s time in the sun. All those nations that made fun of the little Chinaman will pay a price.
I'm in a tennis group with one of the minders, who is a Chinese medical doctor, though he plays medical researcher at the big U. He gets many of the students involved in tennis. He also writes a column for a local newspaper (probably for free, as its circulation is struggling.)
As it happened, I asked him one day where he gets his racket(s) restrung. He laughed and said he never gets a racket restrung. He says he has over forty rackets left to him by his "former students." It seems when they go back to China, some of them leave him their racket that they would have purchased in the US, as the likelihood for most of them playing in China is apparently very low. (Few courts, expensive(?))
If a racket of his needs restringing, he just pulls a different racket from his supply. They're apparently generally good rackets ($80-$200). He gave me five rackets to try out. $20 each if I want to keep any.
They're always building more tennis courts in China, so my local Chinese tennis doctor may well see a larger percentage of "his students" keeping their rackets when they go back to China, even as his supply of rackets increases.
At the courts a few days ago, I was impressed to see a hulking Chinaman of military age set to play. Hmmmm. I'm sure he has no trouble wielding a high caliber, large-magazine automatic weapon. He also had a deferential female (wife?) half his size with him.
I believe the big U is definitely addicted to the Chinese money. The big U's Chinese student thing is definitely a racket.
(All the above is true; that was just a pun.)
China will do nothing but decline, if they cannot correct their demographic decline.
We have more loons in DC than all of China.
