Don´t believe everything you read. This administration has been cranking up the anti-Chinese retoric for some time now. That's true. But China definately sounds like a true shi#hole. I always figured they over exaggerated the bad things about China too. But my Uncle went there for a business trip last summer and he said it truly is a fourth world crap hole. He said Hong Kong was nice, and in parts of the big cities like Beijing and Shanghai it's pretty nice. But as soon as you get outside of the cities or get out of the tourist districts it's unbelievable poverty. He went through some of the factories there and he said it was nothing but skinny half starved looking women and kids. They make them live right there on the worksite, only let them go home to their families a couple times a year for holidays. Once they go home they usually never come back I guess, it's modern day slavery. He also said as soon as you get outside of the main cities, the only people who can afford to own a car are the very rich, he said it was weird because out in the country the only time you'd see a car it would be a mercedes or a bmw, or a bentley or something like that. He said at the hotel he stayed in in..I think it was Beijing, they warned him and the other couple guys he was with not to venture more than a block or two away from the hotel. Well his friend didn't heed the warning and ended up getting his passport stolen by a pick pocket who then offered to sell it back to him for like $1,000:roflChina sucks that's for sure. Damn commies.
