Bob Burns,
Why do you want to go to Mars?
In my knowledge, the Asian has more family values than Americans do. In my point of view, they have a family education network for generations compare with Americans. However, Americans would have a family value if they had their education network, and that network needs to be in a common goal.Thank you,Tony
I would not disagree with that, altho there's a lot more to it, as I see it. "Mars" is a figurative and also literal measure of success. Figuratively, it means we are dynamic, growing, expanding, confident, successful, with the right policies, and have our finances in order. Literally it means we are very actively working on our interstellar program, with the strong backing of the govt and people, who are excited and proud to fully fund it, and the finances to afford it. It seems to me that the US is in the opposite position/situation on these counts. In spite of this there are many posters from the US shouting how great the US is and how backwards China is. So this a kind of test/measure of reality. It's amusing and sad to see those in a sinking boat proclaim how great their boat is. Do they think their shouts will trump reality? That if they just scream out their greatness and our horribleness loudly enough the gods or something will listen and make it so? Amusing but sad to see so many angry frustrated folks wasting their energy on uselessness

Good analogy.

But it was a good boat even if they exceeded the speed limits of the design. Let us hope they make it back to the dry dock for some repairs.

Sort of like: How many times can you rearrange the directors on wall street before the system fails? Oh! or do you mean the system can not sink because of the good "sailors"?

OK, that's "rearranging chairs on the Titanic."

If China is doing so well how come it can not feed its people. 40% of China go home at night with hunger. Why are its ethnic minorities treated like dirt?

Snowflake, do you really expect an answer to this? They will probably say its untrue. Of course I think their 8.9% growth rate is untrue, afterall its their govt giving us the info. Does China have freedom of press to the point that they can challenge govt facts and figures?

As a person who was born in a neighbouring country I wish and hope that the dead communism revive to enthuse the poor.

China is a country ( NOT THE ONLY SUPER POWER)which is striving to show a different way of dealing things.
Forget about the GDP's or GNPs.

Castro's cuba is still alive and kicking.
No illetrace there nor health care is the subject

Revive Communism!!! I will grant you that the Communists countries as a whole have done a great job eliminating illiteracy and providing decent health care (although China is an exception). But as history has shown, they are not "utopias" as they like the world to think they are and are not sustainable over the long run. The remaining Commie countries, Cuba, North Korea and China still survive but how; China has abandoned much of its socialist theory thereby liberizing its economy; Cuba barely gets by and North Korea is a total basket case. Communism does not work and is proven by the dissolution of the form Soviet pact. Looks great on paper but does not work in reality.

as long as I live and expose my banal views with faulty English I respect CuBA; China and Culcutta (India)and other invisible countries.
I live in Germany.
After 20 odd years of unification most of the germans are fed up with commercialism and corporate criminalism.
Hope death comes soon to me to relieve my soul

"Everything said by the chinese government and press is a lie"....keep telling that to yourself while your own country goes down the pan....you probably sleep better at night.

Are you out of your mind? I think you got China confused with India. The percentage of people facing hunger in China is about the SAME as U.S.

As for ethnic minorities treated like dirt, just look around you.
