Hao Hao ReportThe best China news and blog posts

In this post The 88s gives to theories on what people generally feel are the core problems (and solutions) in today's China. Though a self-admitted over-simplified example - it does outline much of the popular thought on modern China.

Technically not "China" related, but those kooky, health-conscious neighbors to the east make exercising just too much fun not too share.

Thanks to The 88s for this.

Between 1990 and 2002 more than 174 million people escaped poverty in China, about 1.2 million per month. With an estimated $23 billion in Chinese exports in 2005 (out of a total of $713 billion in manufacturing exports), Wal-Mart might well be single-handedly responsible for bringing about 38,000 people out of poverty in China each month, about 460,000 per year.

Do Westerners unconsciously look down on Chinese people? Do Chinese people have a reason to despise their round-eyed, fair skinned friends? This post examines these issues from the perspective of an American living as a Chinese blue collar worker.

A great post over at The Granite Studio giving some historic perspective on why the CPC may not be too eager to change the status quo of corruption throughout the country. The post raises some good questions about whether international pressure may force the CPC's hand in sweeping out the corrupt - regardless of the political consequences.

While Chinese officials are ridiculing the West for their financial irresponsibility they conveniently forget to mention that they are currently in default on $260 billion of government bonds purchased by Americans alone. Uncle China points out that China's state-owned enterprises are omitting these facts when they list on US capital markets.
