Shanghai Looks Similar to US, But... Jian Shuo said: Currently, the economy reform changed the appearance of some cities, but the political reform never happened. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- My comment: The economy reform not only changed the appreance of ALL the cities, but also MOST of the rurual areas. Actually, China's economy reform start from rural area and then spread to Urban area. However, only a few of the rurual areas become rich but most of them remain not-rich even still very poor. So, recent years, the government issued lots of the policies to stimulate rurual area's economy. For example, release all of the Agricultural tax！That is to say, the peasent no need to pay any tax to the government anymore! It is a huge change! Indeed released their burdon. My another comment is for political reform: Actually, political reform has performed gradually. Comparing current Chinese communiest party's constitution with that of 20 years ago, you can tell so so so big difference! Now, the communist party claimed it stands for the power which push the society ahead; stands for progress class etc.... So, now even priviate-enterprise owner can join the communist party. You know, in old days, those private-enterprise owner was called Capitalist and was regarded enimies of communist party..... Actually, in my personal opinon, we can call current chinese communist party as Chinese Social Democratic Party。 |

Shanghai Looks Similar to US, But... Jian Shuo doesn't the government there have to buy property owners the fair market value of their property which is taken by the government for a public purpose such as the construction of a highway? if the government offers what the property owner believes is too little of an amount of money, can the property owner go to court to seek a larger sum of money? that's how it works in the US. Posted by: Shrek7 on December 7, 2006 09:53 PM -------------------------------------------------------------- Hi Shrek7: I'm from shanghai as well and has bought my own apartments just nearby century park where jian shuo has mentioned in his earlier post. Actually, I don't agree with Jian Shuo's opinion regarding downtown reconstruction. I'm the expert for this topic. Generally speaking, there are 2 kinds of reconstruction: 1. One is called public-purpose reconstruction which just like you mentioned earlier - Elevated highway, green land etc... 2. The other one is called commercial-purpose which we can learn from its name: for commercial purpose, to build large Mall etc.. For each of them, government have to pay far more fair market price to let people move out. Often commercial reconstruction have to pay more money so that people move out. You must know Pudong area? There is a river called Huangpu which split shanghai as East of the river(Pudong area) and west of the river(PuXi area). Puxi area is traditional downtown while PuDong area just like a new city. Now I just take one of the downtown reconstruction in Pudong area as example. Recently, the government need move lots of poeple out of a special location of Pudong. This special location called LuJiaZui Financial Area where just like Manhattan downtown. I mean, where there are lot lots of high buildings, lots of world-class bank headquater etc... The fair market price for those old apartments in this special location is only about 130$ per square feet. (Why so cheap is because these apartments is very old. Most of them almost 40-50 years old). How much you know government finally give them? At least 300$ per square feet!! More than doubled...! Actually, there is a common-feeling in Shanghai: City reconstruction is the fatest way to let you become rich! In every bbs which regarding real estate, you can often see such kind of post: Did the place where I'm living will reconstruct soon?..... Acutally, Jian Shuo's opinion regarding city reconstruction is for old days. Frankly speaking, I'm the benefiter from city reconstruction. I got 250,000$ and a new apartment from One of my 600 Squre Feet old apartment in PuXi downtown!!! |

Wendy Passed Driver's License Exam Did Wendy get a Dr. Lic. for cars? My wife didn't know one can get a dr. Lic. for cars. The driving school she went to in Suzhou only offered classes for trucks. She end up with a lic. for light trucks. When she came to US, I had to borrow a LiteAce minivan (MPV) for her to take the lic. test. She likes the feeling of sitting high in a car that she won't drive my Mercedes. We end up buying a Honda CR-V for her. I thought it's kind of funny just want to share the story. |

Discrimination Against Foreigners in Shanghai? You can teach English. Won't pay much, but you can get by. I heard housing are very expansive. If your wife and you have a place to stay you should be Okay. I don't believe you have to give up your own citizenship, that's the whole point of having a green card system. But if one day you want to become a citizen of China I think you would have to give up your U.S. Citizenship. The good thing is US don't care if you have citizenship from another country. As long as you return to US soil at least once every 8 years you can retain your US citizenship |

Road Report between Home and Xujiahui Sydney is not that bad is it? A friend of mine from Beijing went to the Olympics and loved Sydney. I am not a big city person. One thing I don't like is driving and parking. When I lived in San Fran. traffic was bad all the time and I averaged 3 parking tickets a month. I love the freedom of driving any where at any time, and love my car. I rather live in one of the smaller cities around Shanghai and drive to work if possible. |
