I dunno, Paul -- you should see what's happening in areas like Chongqing, the Pearl River Delta (Guangdong-Hong Kong) and Shanghai these days. It would amaze you. I've posted a picture of Shanghai that an LDS friend took during a recent trip there. You can see it at: http://www.geocities.com/marcschindler1/shanghai.jpg
I don't have permission to post the name of the person who took this, but it's someone many of you will probably have heard of. Here's a recent article from The Economist on the Pearl River Delta: http://www.economist.com/displayStory.cfm?Story_ID=1382626 (I think this is public, but if you get blocked, let me know and I'll post the article).
