What was true yesterday may not be true today....

Do you still remember how everything seemed so rugged and behind in China just about 10 years ago? Well....that may not be true any more...at least not in China's major cities. A lot of companies nowadays (globally) are trying to set up their factories in China, due to the low costs of materials and manpower. Taiwan is also afraid of China's power globally it dares not to declare independence any more with its political proclaims.

I accidentally ran into this China talk show on cable these few days. Not only the set up is very similar to talk shows here in US and TW, they even talk about similar topics. What entertained me was how they had this girl who went to travel at India, coming back to talk about outdated Indian hygiene & establishments compared to China.

The girl complained about how public restrooms are without doors in India, and they do not have enough public restrooms in general (especially for females). I was thinking "man...that is exactly how China used to be described with people who went there a while back....look at what they are talking about now on TV!!!!". (On top of that, I believe most of the rural areas in China are still like what they are describing in India?)

I have always wonder how people in China are educated and brain washed as they grow up. They all seem to be quite confident with whatever they are talking about in general. Maybe brain wash is not exactly the best term, but most of them are quite self centered interacting with others. I guess that has something to do with how they are only allowed one kid in a household....every person was raised as the king or queen of the family thus has this authority in the voice when they talk.

I saw this u tube clip of fake i phone from a classmate's blog last night. China is really good at stealing every idea from other countries indeed. I think they can totally be the king of all piracies (not sure if that is great or not...most likely not...but then I guess it encourages people to develop newer technologies with faster speed :p )

In the noon talk show I usually watch from TW, they are currently talking about how people from China cheat the tourists from foreign countries. You see how amusing this is? Watching talk shows from both China and TW can indeed be inspiring....You learn how people think completely diff. from diff. cultures.

Oh well..all I have to say is...China is no longer the 3rd world country we used to think. In ten years they may be a lot advanced compared to other countries. (even though I have no idea how cultural raised they will be there are plenty of rural people who don't get enough education at all.) Those unsophisticated and honest Chinese people with traditional values are also diminishing. There are more and more people who would do anything for their own profits since the market is so big. Basically.....what was true and valuable yesterday may no longer be all that today...
