China's GDP Growth Rate:12%
Since it is higher than the planned growth rate(9.9%), China's gov is now trying to slow it down.
GDP growth rate of Guangdong Province(No.1 province in China): 14.4%
According to the current developing speed, the economic of Guangdong province will surpass Taiwan in 2008. The re-unification of mainland and taiwan is inevitable.

So we're supposed to believe China is allpowerful and awesome because you posted some minor statistics, and not even economic trends at that, followed by a list of pictures... Now, I could put up some economic stats of Michigan, which, like China, has some very strong economic regions, and follow it with some pictures of Detroit or Flint or some of the other large cities. Does that change the fact that Michigan overall has one of the worst economies, and no matter how pretty the skylines of the cities are, that they're really just total dumps? No, it does not.
This thread is just more propaganda.

Really enjoy Chinese theatre, both live and cinema.
Ive been here a few years, the arts are fantastic. live performances are incredible, ancient fables and myths brought to life, including popular western themes. the production value is very good, right there with anything produced in europe or USA.
Have seen American companies scouting locations, imagine it wont be long for hollywood to discover the scenery and cost of filming in China as well.
The countrysise has magnificent views and vistas, it is a Nation on the verge of discovery by the rest of the world.
and dont be afraid, china has no plans to conquer the world or subject anyone to "communist rule"
