| And just today there was a letter to the Editor of our local paper (San Jose Mercury News) written by an American expat living in Suzhou Jiangsu province in which the writer states: "...(I) observe daily an immensely peaceful and prosperous society where the vast majority of families are intact, people worship freely and openly, and there is an overwhelming feeling of excitement and optimism for the future. I myself feel greater freedom here, in China, than I do in the United States. China's workforce is happily working toward the future with a fervor and motivation that the United States hasn't seen since the Industrial Revolution. Quite simply: China is poised to become the next world superpower. From where I stand it seems certain and well deserved." I do not know this writer, or the circumstances for their being in China, but I was happy to read one person's opinion which seems to support the hope and optimism Jian Shuo has described among the Chinese people :-) |
