Not gonna call foul on you here. I didn't know about the land privatization thing. That's really interesting. Makes me even more optimistic than I previously was. See that, people? Progress.

They've just began privatizing land ownership (as in it is <i>my</i> land, not the government's) and have made steps toward "Westernizing business". How could they not with so much potential on their front porch? They obviously see that there's a path to becoming the leading international economy. (I've read a couple of articles, but I don't have any sources on hand at the moment. Sorry!) I, too, envision a future where we all cuss in Chinese...(while flying on spaceships in cowboy style!)
