[AbroadPoint.com Blog] Growing Number of Foreigners in China « AbroadPoint.com Blog: From candles all the way to cars, China manufactures every single part needed to make things work and to ensure jobs within its domain which is why this country has experienced an increase in the amount of foreigners who travel there in order to get a better job compared to the ones they got at their home country. If you already assumed that people who go to work in China come from third world countries then we need to re-evaluate our understanding of the Chinese market, the fact of the matter is that most of the workers who are traveling to China looking for better opportunities include people from wealthy countries such as USA, Japan and Korea (south).

[Nealz Nuze] LETTING AMERICA THRIVE - Nealz Nuze on boortz.com: If our GDP stays exactly where it was in 2010 (not likely) and China grows at 10% per year (not likely) it would still take China over 10 years to catch the United States. There are several flaws in the Chinese economic scheme, likely to become full-blown issues, which will derail the 10% growth story.

[Gold Speculator] China Plays Europe Card - Gold Speculator: The Mexican Civil War might have frightened them off any plan to send a million Chinese to North America, equal in intensity to the realization of rising hostility and trade war with the USGovt. Somehow friction with Basque Separatists and detente with Andora versus Spain seems tame compared to roving gangs of Mexican drug lord lieutenants ready to dole out violence on US soil, whose battle lines are drawn by tribal history far more than the US press reports.

[China Legal Blog] Why a Successful China is a Threat to Organized Religion | China ...: Over the past twenty years or so, criticism has focused on two issues: the One-Child Policy and treatment of Chinese nationals who are religious.

[China Hearsay] Why a Successful China is a Threat to Organized Religion | China ...: If history proves something for China, and this being a nation which does not forget about past events so quickly, having hordes of religious zealots taking control is a surefire way for disaster. I can understand the health benefits religion offers, most religious people tend to be somewhat happier with their imaginary friend watching over them, but given the choice I would think Scientific progress will in the longer run provide healthier lives as well.
