Yes, and just as funny, how we criticise our Country.
Just shows, it is really hard to be happy grasshopper.
Maybe no matter how good life is, we look for the down side, who knows maybe drugs are the answer, then everyone is happy and just need food and shelter?
Obviously asking people to be responsible, doesn't work.
China could be preparing to spring a global compact to drive tariffs to zero, and approach Trans Pacific Partnership members including Australia for access to the grouping, positioning Beijing as a champion for free trade.
That's the view of former Prime Minister Kevin Rudd, who believes China's President Xi Jinping may even use next month's World Economic Forum summit in Switzerland to launch across-the-board liberalisation that would "take the world by storm".
"That indeed could represent a serious new challenge to American leadership," Mr Rudd warned in a speech in New York on Wednesday
This is a really smart move.
The cleverest thing they could have done -
It would certainly close down any manufacturing, that can't compete with China.If China wanted to do that then we should say yes, provided there is a close to zero balance of trade between us and them.

From what I've read, Australia signed up to it in 1975.
Things usually go to the lowest common denominator.Global Socialism ?
It only works if the salaries and conditions in the 3rd world countries come up to those in the developed countries, and for the most part that hasn't happened.
Not all good under the surface in China.

To say that China's roads are mostly empty, no cash flows. Well... that's better than our congested roads where people stay for hours on them, and paying through the nose through tolls and wasted fuel idling.

Today in a resort in southern china.walk on the beach this morning, the next door mega development is stopped and rust is starting.along the way still so many high rises and cranes but empty, the older ones with selling signs still and a few of them only with sign of life
I have the feeling the downhill has started..a year ago i was scared, now, more empty building and cranes , but work seems stopped and not as frantic..just anecdotal evidence, but the fall has started in my opinion.be careful with your bhp and rio portfolio my 2c advice
Rolls-Royce and porche/mercs around but not sure how new these are
Less westerners in the bay area as well.all anecdotal obviously.but....
Not sure but my eyes do not lie nor want to rely on an economic report cooked by someone in an office..will see how it will end up.a bit scary to be honest.i would not like living in taipei this year or be assigned on a us ship around hereNothing like a good man on the site .
China's influence and reach is starting to be recognised.
