Thank you for posting, Sally. I get it myself and have already read it. One
thing that surprised and bothered me was the following:
"A milestone for China. The Asian economic giant now hosts over a million
millionaires, says the just-released latest edition of the annual rich list
from publisher Hurun Report and a Shanghai investment firm. The really rich in
China - those with net worths that the Hurun Report puts at over $16 million -
now total at least 63,000. Ninety percent of these super rich, says the new
China rich list survey, are considering sending their kids overseas for school,
most to the United States, and 44 percent are planning to emigrate. Their top
choices in destination? Canada, with the United States and Singapore close
behind."
Aw c'mon, millionaires in a communist state? In the great ideal kingdom of
equality that Mao Zedong and Norman Bethune fought to establish? How can that
be?
What bothers me about it is that when I was young I saw great hope in the
Chinese Revolution, but I guess the Chinese aren't very different from the rest
of us.
