Are Chinese companies beginning to act the same as American companies abroad?
BrunoGiordano asked:
But some Laotian farmers are losing their ancestral lands or being forced to become wage workers on what were once their fields. Chinese companies are accused of getting rubber concessions from officials and not compensating farmers. They are also accused of violating laws, human rights and the environment, under conditions described by experts as “anarchic.”
“The Chinese companies in the north are a bunch of thugs,” says Charles Alton, a consultant in agronomy for international agencies in Laos. However, Alton says, the “unpoliced, unregulated situation” in northern Laos is ripe for exploitation.

What sort of gift would be nice appropriate for a young Chinese woman?
MichaW asked:
I am being picked up at the Beijiing airport by the daughter of my father in law’s friend in China. She is giving me a ride to my hotel as a favor for her father and I know it is a couple hours out of her way. I have never met her but I know she is in her late 20’s and is fairly well off, she works in marketing for IBM. Any ideas for a gift to bring her from America? Half the stuff I look at is made in China so I would feel kind of rude giving her something she could pick up in a local market for cheap.

Why aren’t these Chinese birth laws forced on Africa?
Another Internet Hero asked:
Think of it… in China the population was growing way too big so the government made it “one child per couple” and the population ceased to grow as much.
Why not do this in Africa? I mean, Africa may not have a population raging out of control but a lot of these children are born into poverty and during droughts, famine, war, etc. there is hardly enough food for all the children. Why don’t the African governments force the Chinese law on the people? And don’t say because they are democratic. I know about African democracy, it’s not the same as we in the West know it.
Less people = more food, health care, and so on for everyone else.
I mean, even in times of war women in Africa still continue to produce children even if they will be born in unstable, unsafe enviroments. Why?
Okay, not force… advise. How about that?
Would doing this not be an intelligent move to combating poverty?

How can l get a book about Chinese laws,business,settlement,visa acquisition or acquiring property in ENGLISH?
TOMMY asked:
Most times it is very difficult to get the right informatipon from a right sorce ot the right person due to language problem. More than 90% of foreigners in China who can speak the language cannot read so in most cases communication ecomes very difficult for those of us who are even married.
