"Where are the potential mates for these valued men?"
This will be a terryifying prospect. Considering 1/3 of them will be spoiled pampered "princes" and the rest will be indoctrinated but otherwise ignorant lemmies but with full (sexual) desires the future won't bode well for China.
I could think of another description---but it might get me in trouble with the mods ;-)

But it’s Rogers’ partisan generosity that has raised eyebrows—as well as serious questions about the ethics involved—when he gave $200,000 of media money directly to a political party.
During the just-completed ‘98 campaign season, Rogers was asked by U.S. Senator Harry Reid to "give a substantial amount of money to the Democratic Party." Rogers responded positively and told television viewers on October 15, during a broadcast editorial on KVBC-TV in Las Vegas and KRNV-TV in Reno, that he told his friend, "Harry, I’m not only going to give you what you asked for, I’m going to give you twice the amount ...." Rogers’ on-air editorial also found its way conveniently into Reid’s print ad titled "Integrity."
Something told me you weren't going to get any takers :)
That's scary.
Most of them don't speak Beijing Mandarin. There's a slew of languages spoken in China, and Mandarin is the native language to only a small part of it.
Somewhat like if every state in America spoke a different language and official business was conducted in Marylandian.
Free trade bump!
I know your posts now before I even scroll to your name.
You do like to think the worst of Freeper, don't you?
French dominated for two hundred years.
I'm taking Chinese this semester. It's difficult for a guy my age (43) but it also a lot of fun. Practice practice practice.
Bump
Do you really think Freepers don't approve of nannies only because they can't afford one themselves?
Isn't it more likely that Freepers believe the conservative ideal is children being raised by their actual parents?
And you have a problem with Freepers finding fault with Kerry's hypocrisy by his belief that "the rich should pay their fair share, of course, except for me." Is it so wrong to point out hypocrisy in liberals?
You must not like us much, "Old Friend," to think the worst of us.
They might try adding English to their curriculum, the plural of which is curricula.
lol! Should we forgive the Sunday Times or not :)
Some here bristle when you make fun of liberals.
Then they bristle even more when you accuse them of disrupting.
You're right, you're right, you're right. And little Hilton will find herself using the language bit as a prestige wedge anyway.
As for the kids not remembering anything, when I pointed this out to my wife, she said, But if you say you took them, even if they don't remember, they're going to ask to see the pictures from the trip.
Easy, I replied: Tell them they were lost in a fire. You know, the one where dad rescued everybody? That's a two-fer: Save the money, become a hero.
I had a drill seargent who used to say "if you don't like rice you better learn". How apropos.
It's over the top. The wheels are coming off.
I agree, they are destined for the ash heap of history, but until then they have no chance of being a great nation.
On the other hand, there are "memories" I have which have been family stories for so long, it's not clear to me whether the recount of the story is embedded in my brain, or if I remember it myself. So maybe taking a 2-year-old around the world then talking about it til she's 20 is the trick. (hee)
