Very true, Commodore, in the past. Not any more. The exodus has begun, first a trickle, now a stream, in a few more months and years, THE GREAT ESCAPE! Its over, get used to it.

Newguy05 I totally agree with you 20 years ago China was like North korea Poverty, poverty and poverty ... In less than 20 years later... China is like a Phoenix rose from the ashes It transformed beautifully into 2nd largest economy Indeed, the sleeping Giant Dragon just waking up now The theme slogan of Beijing Olympic is One World One Dream East or West ... North or South We are all citizen of this Gaia/Globe ... We are not World-leader or Politician Regardless which country we're from.. Regardless what color our skin... Take this golden opportunity and make some dollars and cents ... and make this world a better place for all of us ... united color of friends.
I posted a comment earlier on this thread about China becoming a leader or possibly THE leader in nuclear engineering and technology. Construction of Chinese 'Nuclear City' to start "Plans are advancing for the construction of the first industrial park in China to help with the rapid development of the country's nuclear power industry, with detailed engineering and construction preparation work at the site in Haiyan, Zhejiang province, expected to start soon." . . "China will reportedly spend some $175 billion over the next ten years on developing the 130 square-kilometre Haiyan Nuclear City." . . "The Nuclear City is expected to have four main areas of work: development of the nuclear power equipment manufacturing industry; nuclear training and education; applied nuclear science industries (medical, agricultural, radiation detection and tracing); and promotion of the nuclear industry." http://www.world-nuclear-news.org/NN-Construction_of_Chinese_Nuclear_City_to_start_soon-1608104.html
