Shrewd lot these Orientals, remember the old Chinese proverb:
Confucius says, "woman who cooks meat and peas in same pot is very unhygenic"

'May you live in interesting times.' - Ancient Chinese curse.
Surely, times can't get much more interesting, can they?

That's exactly what I am doing. I spent around 600 hours in a classroom learning Mandarin last year. Left UK in 2005 to set up my own factory in China. I have achieved twice the profitability in just 4 years than I did in my previous UK business in 17 years.
I love the way non-Chinese commentators talk about China being in recession. I thought that a country had to experience 3 quarters of negative growth to be in recession. Journalists seem to think that 6% growth is a recession!!! LOL
