    In the last 30 years, China has lifted over 300 million people out of poverty. This pace of development is unprecedented in human history. In the last 50 years, life expectancy has gone from well below 50 to well over 70. In 1950, the literacy rate in China was less than 20%, but today it is over 90%. Footbinding and concubinage are gone, and women have more rights than ever. China still has many problems, but right now is THE best time ever to be an average Chinese person living in China.

    Not every culture is as touchy-feely as Americans.

    that's right, the chinese people should be thankful to the business opportunities given by foreign investors as well. otherwise they would be the same as 50 years ago.

    yes there's a difference between the local indonesian and those with chinese ancestry. i'm not so sure about the treatment in indonesia because i thought all ethnics are equal. their former president did not allow indonesians with different identities that's why the chinese communities are prohibited to practice their mother tongue. however the regulations are more open now and chinese people can learn/write chinese language. of course, racial issues are everywhere.

    that's racism. My indoneasian friends told me that indoneasians with 100% indonesian blood, have a different ID card than the indonesians with chinese ancestors, and also have a better treatment than those indoneasians with chinese blood, and a chinese grandmother is forbidden to teach chinese to her grandchildren.

    Yes that's right, you don't know. You hear in the western media that China is bad, so that's the entirety of your opinion. Educate yourself, please. Also, food binding is done to toddlers, there's no choice involved, pushing your comment further into the annals of ignorance.

    So what is your point? Many ppl do agree China is growing rapidly. Just saying before the communist party took over there were no where close to 1B people. I don't know much about foot-binding/concubinage . IMO as long as women are not forced to do so(aka if they choose to), I am cool with it. Best time ever? I guess people in most countries are living a better life than 50 years ago......

    @DrMMHMD Then you obviously need to read the news more and keep yourself informed.

    obviously not, with a enormous population like China, how would that be possible within the next few decades? Thanks for the obvious statement.
