	Asia Times: China: Crisis, what crisis?
		BEIJING - In the first half of this year, China's economy grew by 7.9 percent, and although that is not excessively high compared with its pace over the past two decades, it's still appreciable considering how neighboring Asian economies have fallen to another low after the 1997 financial crisis.
		China's investment in fixed assets has been burgeoning for quite a few years, and it is expected to maintain growth momentum in the coming few years, with the gradual input of capital financed through treasury bonds issuance.
		With a population of up to 1.3 billion, China boasts a consumption market that is enviable to any other economy in terms of scale and growth speed, and in recent years new consumption areas such as home appliances, housing, education, motor vehicles and tourism are emerging one after another.

		What is largely unrecognized outside of China is that the feared eastern power is, in fact, on the brink of revolt, due to the disparities between the urban elite and the rural poor.
		Today, China is one of the only countries that puts the responsibility for funding health care, social security and education in local governments' hands.
		China today is already on the brink of total collapse—from water wars or its own growth—but it would be a mistake to think that industrialism created these problems.

	China Crisis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		China Crisis are an English pop/rock group formed in 1979 in Kirkby, near Liverpool, Merseyside, UK with a core band of vocalist/keyboardist Gary Daly and guitarist Eddie Lundon.
		Their output was pop music similar in style to that of the new romantics, but with strong similarities to the post-punk movement of the early-1980s, namely inclusion of a broader range of musical influences and occasional flirtation with political commentary.
		China Crisis will be touring the UK during January and February 2007 as part of their 25th Anniversary.

	China-Taiwan Wargame (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		China has continuously made claims that Taiwan is part of China proper and has resisted attempts by Taiwan to declare independence.
		During that time, China has engaged in killing student protestors and installing its own puppet government within Hong Kong, thus ending China's formal policy of "one nation, two systems." The US has repeatedly threatened China with sanctions, and the new movement toward Taiwan has created further tension between the two countries.
		China, a traditionally sexist country, has not placed much credence in the election of a woman to the US presidency and has seen the election as an opportunity to amass troops in port cities, conduct naval exercises; practice invasion maneuvers in their own country, and renew testing of missiles by shooting over Taiwanese territory.

	China's underpopulation problem. - By Ian Bremmer - Slate Magazine
		China's vast supply of cheap labor and India's army of capable engineers have attracted enormous flows of foreign investment to their countries over the past several years.
		China's growing demographic problem may persuade some foreign investors—already wary of the opaque, authoritarian political system and the increasingly well-coordinated and violent protests—to further diversify their portfolios away from risks in China.
		For the next several years, China and India will continue to profit from large inflows of foreign investment, but investors in these states will do well to remember that past performance is no guarantee of future results.

	China's moral crisis
		But China has become a drastically more urban society in the last two decades, and hundreds of millions of people have moved residence in the process.
		They separate the subject of their study from the rest of the world, as if China is different, as if outsiders are somehow better anchored in morality than Chinese who live, disoriented, in a "moral vacuum".
		As China emerged from Communism in the 1980s and 1990s, a certain extremism remained and it may yet increase rather than disappear.

		That "highly professional EFL teacher" was in fact a representative example of the raw human capital with which English schools in China have to work.
		He was completely unqualified, both in that he lacked a certificate (of course) and that he had not undergone even the rudimentary training that constitutes a Tefl course.
		Almost no foreign teachers in China do, and publicly averring that teachers ought to have such qualifications is enough to get one howled down as an outrageous snob; the government does not require it and nor do the vast majority of schools.
