to sustain economic growth the Chinese govt keeps coming up with infrastructure projects

kahit di kailangan they keep building

the govt has to maintain growth rate otherwise there will be social unrest

they have to create jobs... keep people working

The next job of the guys that built this is....

will be to dismantle this so that workers are still working for working's sake.

Im Tsinoy but China's rise should be viewed with suspicion. I personally think that china's growth be contained since they have a communist government. Unless they change into a democratic government, i would never trust the chinese government

hindi na communist ang China. Socialist government na lang sya with 2 systems: one is running state capitalism tapos true capitalism sa administrative regions like HK and Macau.

they even want Taiwan not to make it socialist, basta isa pang independent administrative region who can freely do what Taiwan is doing before, even running Democracy if they want.

ganyan, ka walang prinsipyo or ideology ang China ngaun, basta kumikita, socialism capitalism okey lang. kaya nga type nila sakupin ang Pilipinas eh, coz kumikita ngaun. when they take over us, they will not change our government, basta sila ang nasa taas at kita, yun lang.

No doubt about that. Eh lahat na lang gawa sa china.

All car manufacturers are giving China a special treatment. Just this recently, China has overtaken US as BMW's number 1 market. So instead of focusing on US, BMW is making models that appeals mainly for Chinese customers now. Case in point is a 3 series long wheelbase version and so on. Even Aston Martin, Ferrari, Porsche will be seemingly more active in the Chinese market for the coming years. Grabe asenso ng China :D

One good thing about skilled OFWs in China is that they are handling key positions.

A fresh graduate Chinese engineer in Shenzhen will ask as much as Php25K in peso equivalent. Those who have at least 3 years experience will ask as much as Php50K in peso equivalent and they can't even match the ability of an OFW with the same length of working experience. The OFW then should be receiving at least 3x of the Chinese counterpart. Just what I think.

Chinese labor cost is no longer cheap.

and that is where it will start to downfall. China is a very big country, yan sobrang bilis nila sa progress also means sobrang bilis ang inflation - goods, labor, services. eh kaya lang 2 billion kaya ang China, if inflation overtakes the population still in poverty, yan ang movies ko ngaun kaya mino-monitor ko yan eh.

and that is why I believe Philippines can beat China. unang-una we're all Roman Catholic. Religion + progress = recipe for true unity.

I think that very Spanish Roman Catholic religion is one big factor that pulls us down. Think anti-RH Bill, pro-poor agendas.

Instead of teaching progressive culture (like work your ass out and be accountable of your own life), they teach us fate and faith and being too dependent to heaven and heaven alone. Kaya si Juan Dela Cruz tanggap ng mahirap lang sila dahil yun ang will ng langit para sa kanila.

Plus the stupid media.

Look at how Singapore practices media censorship. What the international community hears is all good news. Like SG is a great, peaceful, progressive country so lets do business there.
