China is some scary shit. They do what they want. Considering they have a population of way over a Billion people...Seem to feed and house most...haven't started any wars recently, believe a small dust up with Vietnam some years ago was the last one.. [believe they ha their ass kicked] They have one of the best food cuisines on the planet...overall...not that scary....a competitor for being "who's # 1" true but it was just a matter of time... The surveillance on their citizens, re-education camps, and laws that prohibit free thought is very scary.

Overall it seems a full belly...ability to improve their lives, gain economically for themselves and family..[family very important to these folks] seem to over ride the freedoms we claim are so important and as it is now showing...there seems to be less freedom to do0 as he wants for the top leader of the peoples republic...plenty of power to the provincial leaders...military leaders....Their way of governing....with the size of their population and problems faced, it seems they have been able to govern their way and make it right...love to have those hi speed trains ...also their ability to spend so much less on their military thus more $[Chinese equivalent] for needs of people ...infrastructure...Still too much reliance on carbon energy...coal...terrible air pollution...but working on it...right now economy is hurting...trade war with USA....now being called Peoples War

They recalled their pandas from the LA zoo? Saw it some place, haven't verified it. It's from the San Diego zoo. They are cute critters, but if you don't go early, there is a huge line. We have seen the last few babies around 6-8 months after they were born. The mom has lived here for a long time - hope she gets used to China. Thank you, I was coming back to correct it since I finally saw it was San Diego. I've been to that zoo a couple of times....long ago, before the pandas were there.
