China: the New Global High-Tech Power
Andy Tai writes "This three-part news.com special report shows how mainland China has become the focus of high tech business opportunities during the global recession. The article compares today's China to 19th Century America as "a booming nation starved for products and driven by a new generation of entrepreneurs", points out China's "sheer numbers and ambitious work ethic are producing thousands of engineers--and U.S. companies are recruiting the best of them," and concludes "that this may eventually be known as China's high-tech century. " Another good article looking at China's rise as a global power can be found here."
They are communist breeders...the people do not reproduce, they breed new people.
Hence the reason fo the huge standing army, and all of the smart people, just by sheer numbers and probability, theyd have the smartest people.
oh well
What if Rice a Roni Is not really the San Francisco Treat??
I know for a fact (via a customer that has a 20 man office in Nanjing) that 100K == 10 engineers over there.
So for one well paid US worker you can get 10 softies over there.
Now I did ask about the skillset and he indicated that they need some specific training for
what you need but after that the group is somewhat self sufficient and very able to get
the job done.
Practice your Mandarin. The writing gives me the most difficuly but at
least from a software standpoint, English is ok, just speaking would need to be in Mandarin
to manage a team...
They are C-O-M-M-U-N-I-S-T-S
/then/ we go about and start selling them crap.
/ass/ end poor to merely ass end poor isn't much of an improvement), and we ARE helping their elite communist class get even richer and more entrenched in power (ugh);
COMMUNISTS
They want us D-E-A-D
DEAD.
Why the HOLY FUCKING HELL are we selling them shit? Right after the USSR went down the tube and the nuke threat was gone we should have bombed the living hell out of them, but noooo, we let the largest single nation population density REMAIN communist (who's bright fucking idea was that one?) and
Now I mean if we where, say, err, taking over their culture and flooding it with American ideas and propaganda, then sure, hey, why not;
but nope, we are just supplying their economy with assloads of money, NOT helping the majority of their people very much at all (from
and then we go and start selling them high tech shit.
I repeat;
what the fuck?

I'm an American businessman in the import- export business, so as you might guess, my frequent travels take me to many places around the world, on every continent.
I wanted to share my experience in the "great" country of China.
So, I was in Shenzhen China last December for about a week on business. A bit of background: Shenzhen, like Hong Kong and a few other places, is a "Special Economic Zone" that the Chinese government set up to try and give foreigners the illusion that China really ISN'T a drab, decaying fascist state that's economically languishing behind the rest of the world. Here, rules are relaxed and capitalism is encouraged, not surppressed. Well, let me tell you this, if this is China's best, then I'd hate to see the worst.
Anyways, when I stepped off the train from Hong Kong (which was no paradise itself, as that place has gone down the shitter since the Brits left) I was shocked. The whole place smelled like a combination of vomit and dog shit that had been left out in the sun for a day or so. And it was probably BECAUSE there was vomit and dog shit all over. I almost retched, and I've certainly been in some sketchy places in my travels but NOTHING like this.
People spit everywhere. Trash litters the streets. I found myself looking DOWNWARD much more than looking FORWARD when I walked.
Noise pollution is endemic. It doesn't help that their infernal language consists of abrupt rapid fire tones that is a cacophony for any human ear to bear. How do they speak and listen to that shit without going crazy all day long is beyond me.
Anyways, Chinamen stink -- literally. There is no concept of personal hygiene whatsoever. Meetings with even top officials were hourlong sessions of having to endure hot sweaty bodies and rancid breath eminating from mouths missing a few teeth. Geez, at least use deodorant for crying out loud.
The hypocrisy, corruption, and double-standards from the highest levels of government on over are the norm at the same time China opens up to the world. Foreigners get charged as much as five times for transportation, lodging, food, and everything else.
Traffic is horrible. Rules are non-existent except for at traffic lights: red means to go fast, green means to go REALLY REALLY fast.
The Chinese people themselve are pretty apathetic and everyone just wants to get out of that hell hole, so you see smuggling rings shipping people out hidden in truck beds and ships, all too often with tragic results.
The whole country, in my assessment is a lost case. Even the cheap labor can be found in Southeast Asia or Mexico. Same goes for pirated stuff -- SE Asia and Eastern Europe will keep on churning them out.
Anyways, the one redeeming quality were the girls. I paid 100 yuan (about $12 US) for a great fuck, with a 16 year old who seemed quite new and "unblemished" if you get my drift. Boy, was she tight, made all the right noises, sucked and fucked all night long and let me cum all over her. Much better than even the vaunted Thai whores, and worlds apart from anything in Las Vegas or in Europe. Best bargain I have EVER found in my life!
So yeah, screw the hell hole that's China. It's a lost cause of a country suspsended by a hollow facade of so-called new capitalism that's just show more than anything.
There's 10 types of people in this world, those who understand binary and those who don't.
Hey, this has sparked an idea! Check it: sell everything in America and close up shop, fire all your lazy, fat, overpaid American employees, and then dash to China to start the entrepreneurial Gold Rush!
... $8.50 per hour should be enough income if both parents work 60+ hours a week. Those fat, lazy bastards! Hoo boy I'm glad we don't pay taxes in America anymore."
Oh, wait, this is already being done.
And if everyone is doing it, it must be a good investment. The dotcoms clearly showed that. Praise Jesus that the investment industry found out that mathematical models of animal-herd movements produced the largest returns when applied to stock markets.
Due to my latest invention, a Psycho-Temporal Radio Receiver, I can now reveal the private thoughts of a future internationalist businessman: "Hey, it looks like sales in America have really taken a dive. Why is that? They should be able to buy our Chinese stuff
Okay, okay, sarcasm off. But if I hear one more next-big-opportunity story, I'm gonna barf.

#5 Both Soviet Russia and Communist China have been hugely succesful if you measure success along the lines of literacy or economic growth.
Of course just shooting all the ones who can't read really helps boost the literacy rating up.

HELLO George Bush!
How about getting the following the foundation for a high-tech economy?
1)-access to energy So stop your Enron buddies from bilking California
2)-fair judicial system So respect 'innocent until proven guilty' and drop your plans for tribunals and recognise that even alleged Taleban have the right to a lawyer.
3)-clean water So reverse your policy of letting people's water be poisoned with lead.
4)-enough food for its people Nah, can't complain about the US on this score you guys (and gals) are enormous, no wonder you need cars six times bigger than the rest of the world
5)-uncorrupt governance So sack all the people in your administration who are tainted by corrupt accounting, insider trading etc, oh and after Cheney and the rest have gone RESIGN yourself
6)-educated people So how about having people who got into Princeton on their ability rather than as a 'legacy' because pop went to the place?
7)-freedom of expression
So stop trying to shut down sites like gwbush.com and stop trying to claim that criticisng his fraudulency is supporting Al Qaeda
