"So that is what you say to yourself at night as you fall asleep to sooth your guilty conscious! Man, you should bottle that and sell it to all the other "investors" who are helping China exploit its people."

So, are you saying that it's better for someone to beg for food than to work for a few dollars a day and provide for his family? I guess that person should just rest in comfort, even though he isn't eating, knowing that he hasn't been exploited and that you are feeling better about yourself 10,000 miles away. LOL

"Oh really? Its the "only" thing? Sounds like you've got it all figured out."

Again, what's your idea for making China a better place other than fecklessly throwing bombs at those who do?

I advise caution in relation to China. Much of their growth is fuelled by indiscriminate lending by state owned banks. Part of this story will end in tears, certainly.
