#2 Redneck Jim... you know Taiwan is watching that like a hawk and using the data as a background in their dealings with the ChiComs... Their major problem is right now that almost one third of their current population in Taiwan are illegals from China who overstayed visits.... sort of like Mexican "tourists" to the USA. It has made an unknown demographic change...

#3 What nobody cares?

The Central Committee cares. China historically goes through a cycle of multi-states to consolidation to breakup. The thought of regionalism over centralization puts chills in them. The previous collapses usually featured extensive corruption in the central administration as a prelude to events. The omens are not good as they stand upon a worldwide economic precipice they helped create by currency manipulation [refusing to allow their currency to gradually float in a free market].

They could deport the illegals if they really wanted to, WM. After all, they look different and most of them probably don't speak Chinese well, or at all.

Oh, wait.... ;-p

#5 I'd offer to trade them their illegals for our illegals.

#6 The bottom line is that Beijing has long had a policy that Shanghai will become the "New Hong Kong", and that Hong Kong proper will wither away. Needless to say, the people of Hong Kong are not too cool about this.

Much simpler grammar and vocabulary, Barbara. Or so I was told by a Taiwanese friend who engaged to teach me proper Mandarin, and laughed out loud at her first look inside Mao's Little Red Book, which Mr. Wife had brought back from his first trip over there.

#8 My wife told me a relative was voted as an award for her hard work by her working collegues, to go to college even though she had been working at a factory.

To this day she is still illiterate; can't read or write Chinese.
