It may also be that China understands too that as more Chinese become Americans, China will have a greater exposure and political lobby within the United States. Look at how much political influence Israel now exerts within the United States government and corporations. Also as with other minorities, the more exposure that Americans have to them in their everyday life the less fear and distrust that will be experienced. As the Chinese people which I know have entered into higher end professional roles in the United States they are eager to form business alliances with company's back home in China. China is also still feeling great population pressure. I just returned from meeting my fiancé there and in the cities where I stayed it still felt very overpopulated by my standards. Even though they possess excellent mass transit, people are packed in buses like sardines and more people move from the countryside to the city everyday to find work. I was only there for ten days so I did not gain a lot of understanding of how they manage to keep everything running. But in just that short time I saw that they have the same drug, homelessness, and poverty problems that we have here. The vast majority of people I met there were very friendly towards Americans and even though I know there have to be a lot of us there, because I was not in the tourist areas, I could go two or three days without seeing another American. ----- This list is sponsored by AGIRI: http://www.agiri.org/email To unsubscribe or change your options, please go to: http://v2.listbox.com/member/?member_id=8660244&id_secret=76377369-0b3c3c
