I'm not saying any of this is 'good' - I just think an open mind helps
before damning one against the shoddy yardstick of another. On which(!),
I'm off to China in a couple of months looking at regeneration in
Shanghai - I'll let y'all know :-)



Rob, please do!

We need more factual information and a lot less 'probably' and 'I suspect'
on these issues....

I would like to know if the Chinese are generally 'happy' - the torrent of
cheap Chinese stuff is handy to have and very liberating for us poor
Westerners, but I would hate to think schoolkids are still going blind
'handweaving carpets', as it were...!!

There won't be any neo-capitalist 'Utopia', that's for sure, but I would
like to know things are not as dire as some would have us believe - for
audio kit assemblers, if at all possible??
