tell me, why do all these commies want to escape to america??

Wang Lijun, the formal vice mayor of Chongqing who was known for his crackdown on crime and as the right-hand man of the municipality's party secretary, Bo Xilai, has been arrested and sent to Beijing after his request for political asylum was refused by the US embassy, reports Hong Kong newspaper the Oriental Daily News.

The Chongqing government said on its official Sina Weibo microblog that Wang has been serious ill due to a heavy workload and is taking a vacation to recover.

Before the official statement, an internet rumor spread saying Wang sought political asylum at the American embassy in Chengdu but was turned down. He was then arrested by Chinese authorities and sent to Beijing.

1-child policy does not work....

U.S has 300M folks while China has 1.4B folks...China's population is around 4 times that of the U.S population and let's say in the average that an American couple have 2 kids and a Chinese couple has 1 kid...Math shows that Chinese population will keep growing at the faster rate than US population.

By 2050 - China's population will be 1.6M
By 2050 - India's population will be 1.63M
By 2050 - U.S population will be 392M

HowTF China and India can feed their people like they do today?

Just goes to show that if you want to fight the evil corruption, it is an uphill battle. Better to flee and stay and fight.

China's 'Go Out' Policy A One-Way Street
Shu-Ching Jean Chen, 06.25.08, 4:52 AM ET


HONG KONG -

For three years, Beijing has been dragging its feet on giving foreign private equity firm the Carlyle Group the go-ahead to buy the country's largest construction equipment maker. But it will act swiftly and decisively when developments run the opposite way: it has encouraged a major state-controlled construction equipment firm to buy a foreign company engaged in the same line of business.

Changsha Zoomlion Heavy Industry Science and Technology Development Co., controlled by the Hunan provincial government, announced Wednesday it had won the bid for Italy's Compagnia Italiana Forme Acciaio, the world's third-largest construction equipment manufacturer after two German firms, Putzmeister and Schwing.

Together with three private equity partners, it is paying 271 million euros ($422.41 million), including transaction fees, for a 60% stake in CIFA, with a clause permitting it to take full control three years from now. In one fell swoop, Zoomlion will not only become China's largest construction machinery maker, but, according to the company's statement, the acquisition will make it "close to the world's No. 1."

The regulatory delays in approving the Carlyle Group’s application for completing its acquisition of Xugong Group Construction Machinery Co., China's erstwhile leader in construction equipment, has allowed Zoomlion to gain competitive strength by borrowing from the very same private equity financing model that the Carlyle Group intends to employ to develop Xugong Group into an international player.

In announcing the news, Zoomlion said it was responding to the government's "Go Out" policy. Chinese construction equipment makers have started to market their products overseas only in the past two years.

An astonishing invasion of Africa is now under way.

In the greatest movement of people the world has ever seen, China is secretly working to turn the entire continent into a new colony.

Reminiscent of the West's imperial push in the 18th and 19th centuries - but on a much more dramatic, determined scale - China's rulers believe Africa can become a 'satellite' state, solving its own problems of over-population and shortage of natural resources at a stroke.

With little fanfare, a staggering 750,000 Chinese have settled in Africa over the past decade. More are on the way.

The strategy has been carefully devised by officials in Beijing, where one expert has estimated that China will eventually need to send 300 million people to Africa to solve the problems of over-population and pollution.

The plans appear on track. Across Africa, the red flag of China is flying. Lucrative deals are being struck to buy its commodities - oil, platinum, gold and minerals. New embassies and air routes are opening up. The continent's new Chinese elite can be seen everywhere, shopping at their own expensive boutiques, driving Mercedes and BMW limousines, sending their children to exclusive private schools.

Singapore

Chinese Singaporeans are people of Chinese descent who are born in or immigrated to Singapore and have attained citizenship or permanent residence status. As of 2009, Chinese Singaporeans constitute 74.2% of Singapore's resident population, or approximately three out of four Singaporeans, making them the largest ethnic group in Singapore.

Singapore's standard of living has risen dramatically. Foreign direct investment and a state-led drive to industrialization based on plans drawn up by the Dutch economist Albert Winsemius have created a modern economy focused on industry, education and urban planning.[11] Singapore is the 5th wealthiest country in the world in terms of GDP (PPP) per capita.[12] As of January 2009, Singapore's official reserves stand at US$170.3 billion.

Thailand

about 14% of Thailand's population claim to be of Chinese ethnicity.[3] Extensive intermarriages with the Thais, especially in the past has resulted in many people who claim Chinese ethnicity with Thai ancestry, or mixed.[4] People of Chinese descent are concentrated in the coastal areas of Thailand, principally Bangkok.[5] They are well-represented in all levels of Thai society and play a leading role in business and politics.

Myanmar

The Burmese Chinese dominate the Burmese economy although many enterprises today are co-owned by the military. Moreover, the Burmese Chinese have a disproportionately large presence in Burmese higher education, and make up a high percentage of the educated class in Burma.

Philippines

The Chinese in the Philippines are mostly business owners and their life centers mostly in the family business. These mostly small or medium enterprises play a significant role in the Philippine economy. A handful of these entrepreneurs run large companies and are respected as some of the most prominent business tycoons in the Philippines. Chinese Filipinos attribute their success in business to frugality and hard work, Confucian values and their traditional Chinese customs and traditions. They are very business-minded and entrepreneurship is highly valued and encouraged among the young

it is estimated that the Chinese comprise 2.5% of the Philippine population and control about 65% of the nation's economy

Malaysia

The Malaysian Chinese have traditionally dominated the Malaysian economy, but with the implementation of affirmative action policies by the Malaysian government to protect the rights of ethnic Malays, their share has somewhat eroded. However, they still make up the majority of the middle- and upper-income classes. As of 2007, they constituted about a quarter of the Malaysian population.

Indonesia

The Chinese are reported to control about 3/4 of the 140 big conglomerates that dominate Indonesia’s private sector.
According to a survey of corporations listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange, the Chinese Indonesian community was thought to own or operate a large fraction of major Indonesian corporations. This is a result of a long government restriction for Chinese Indonesians from going into academia, public service, and other governmental occupations.
although only 3.5% of the population is Chinese, they own or control 70% of the non-land wealth.

Suharto imposed the so-called New Order regime.
For some prominent Chinese businessmen who were friends of Suharto, the New Order was a bonanza: they received huge government contracts and became some of the richest men in Asia.

Cambodia

Under the Khmer Rouge
The Khmer Rouge takeover was catastrophic for the Chinese community for several reasons. When the Khmer Rouge took over a town, they immediately disrupted the local market. According to Willmott, this disruption virtually eliminated retail trade "and the traders (almost all Chinese) became indistinguishable from the unpropertied urban classes."

The Chinese, in addition to having their livelihood eradicated on the whole, also suffered because of their class. They were mainly well-educated urban merchants, and thus were characteristic of the people whom the Khmer Rouge detested. Chinese refugees have reported that they shared the same brutal treatment as other urban Cambodians under the Khmer Rouge régime and that they were not discriminated against as an ethnic group until after the Vietnamese invasion.

Modern years
Of particular note is China's economic role in the country,[5] which encouraged Sino-Khmer businessmen to reestablish their past business which were once suppressed by the Khmer Rouge.

Modern Cambodian economy is highly dependent on Sino-Khmer companies who controlled a large stake in the country's economy,[6] and their support is enhanced by the large presence of lawmakers who are of at least part-Chinese ancestry themselves.[7]
