Makes me want to appreciate them all the more!
Why not make a selection and just present the most worthy ones?
That should not be time-consuming and difficult!
So we all can have a taste of what China is like in the eyes of American Ordie!
Yes! Forever gone is the day when any political figure alone is able to manipulate China for better or for worse!
Future CPC leaders will increaslingly more have to learn to run the country in accordance with the rule of law! So do the ordinary Chinese people who have to learn to live with the rule of law!
Here's a start based on my experience:So do the ordinary Chinese people who have to learn to live with the rule of law!
1) No spitting
2) No cutting in line.
3) No pushing and shoving.
4) No smoking in public places.
5) Pedestrians have right of way when crossing the street.
6) No agressive vendors.
7) No bad acne on teenagers.
8) No squatting toilets
9) Every toilet stall must have toilet paper.
10) No shouting.
11) No more refernces about 5000 years of Chinese civilization (it gets old after a while)

I would be a gazillionare if I were to sell Clearasil Acne medicine in China.
You would not get a cent from Shuimo!
I have nice watery smooth skin! Haha
Get a life ordie, stop giving a **** abt China. not ur problems anyway~~ esp when there's other stuff more pressing to care abt~
I do give a crap becuase my interest rates are tied up with China's buying US t-bills.
I also happen to like the country.
I'm already making plans for next year.
Big applause for Ordie!

Shopping at the large shopping mall is much better. It is completely air-conditioned with everthing under one roof. Everything from ciniplex to indoor amusment park, restaurants, food court (With Steet hawker food stalls). Nice and clean. No crocroaches, or rats etc.
No problems with finding safe and secured parking. No snatch theives.
But once in a while I have to take foreign visitors to sweaty Chinatown. Sign....

If ignorance was bliss, your posts would be orgasmic. Congrats for simultaneously showing complete ignorance in your culture and history and missing the reason why the vast majority of tourists go to China in the first place (hint, its not for the malls).
The realities for many Chinese ages between 20-40 is how to take care of parents and in-laws as they get older. Those who had moved to the suburbs in high rise flats complain about isolation and being far away from friends. Life in a Hutong is being part of an extended family where neighbors look after each other for meals, company and security.
In fact I've met families within the Hutongs who can trace thier family tree and property from thier Bannermen (Imperial Regiments) ancestors.
In many ways America is rediscovering it's human scale development with town centers, bikeways and transit oriented development. Shopping malls in America are dying or dead and single family tract housing are empty. However the demand for urban living is getting stronger. Especially since Americans are getting older and mobility will become an issue.
Looks like a slum to me.
