HONG KONG — China will soon have its own version of the extremely capitalist reality TV show "The Apprentice," according to a news report.

Donald Trump will be the executive producer of the Chinese show, which will be hosted by a Beijing property mogul, the South China Morning Post newspaper reported Sunday.

The report said the version in the communist country would closely follow the U.S. original, in which contestants use their business savvy to compete against each other, and the winner gets a job with Trump.

No release date was given, and the paper said the details of the deal are under final negotiation.

Well, maybe that will topple the communist government, as all the Chinese realize that they too can all be capitalists. :)

The problem with being a Chinese apprentice is that as soon as you close one deal, you still want to close another one an hour later.

In the Chinese version you're not fired, you are shot and your organs are sold to rich Americans.
