If Marylanders want to work at a retail establishment in China, more power to them.

It'd be a hell of a commute, though....

I wonder if Marx would approve? Let's ask A.Pole.

Definitely yes! According to Marx the globalization and economic integration into large units is a precondition for the victory of socialism. You can look at a socialist economy as one big all-encompassing corporation like Wal-Mart on steroids.

Lenin also would approve, he would like this Chinese return to his NEP (New Economical Policy, abandoned by Stalin) which was to use Western investors to build up Soviet Union.

Good for Wal-Mart. And good for those people in China who could use jobs! I guess the shipping costs to get products to the store won't be as bad as they are here, huh? ;o)

China welcomes Wal-mart jobs and here liberals say NO THANKS! Go figure.

Chinese is not a monosyllabic language.

Proper word partition is:
Huanyin lai Woerma. Nin xuyao tuiche ma?

You're doing much better than most native Chinese in terms of Pinyin. Who says Chinese is a difficult language?

Chinese grammar and word order are similar to English, but easier.
Chinese characters are effing hard though....

If only they would romanize.....
