I was going to post about this, the fact that China is number 2 in terms of billionaires and that the number has increased dramatically and that imho the reasons are basically corruption etc.. but I think that if you have read any of this blog you would get that by now and if you havent then shame on you, just do some research…….
(I am tired, gotta work in the morning, will be late, so am in a little bit of a $h&tty mood)- I love China??? |

Working in China Part 2
Posted by w_thames_the_d on October 29, 2010
Ok, so now you have battled the crowds at every step of the way to come to work at China, what happens next, you may ask…
You walk down the hall, in front of you one of two scenarios will play out. If the ‘leader’ is in then the place will be a hive of ativity. When the leader is in there are never enough pencils to be sharpened and flat surfaces to be scrubbed. The lower echelon employees will be particularly busy and will practically run from place to place all in order to show the leader that when the ax falls and someone needs to be cut, it will not be them. ok i am bored, will do more with this later… |

How to get rich in China…
Posted by w_thames_the_d on October 29, 2010
China has just stated that over 40 newly minted Chinese billionaires have joined the already large ranks of Chinese who hold that title. If that is what makes them happy then good for them. But I still think that it is crazy that in china, in order to be a billionaire you have to be the child of a communist party member, or be one yourself. Is it just me or is it crazy that ‘civil servants’, (wrong term for the people here), can amass hundreds of millions if not billions of dollars. Does this not, on the face of it just seem odd?
And if you arent directly in the government, then you should be in bed with them. Look at this excerpt from the chinadaily, by forcing out Google (you can argue the use of the term force out, but think about it… I will reply below) The Chinese have allowed the owner of Baidu, the Chinese Google knockoff , to double his wealth in one year. “Robin Li, co-founder of search engine Baidu Inc…with $7.2 billion…The 42-year-old Li’s estimated fortune has nearly doubled in the past year thanks to… population of Internet users. Google shut down its mainland search service, and shares of Baidu soared 143 percent in the past year” You can argue that Google decided to leave, but think about it, in China competition is never fair. For instance, the Baidu search engine allows one to play copy written music and movies for free, all in violation of international law, but no one says a thing, how fair is this..Also, look at Twitter and Youtube, we cannot access them and many blogs as well. What china is doing, is creating this nice little protective barrier against foreign barbarian companies, and we all play along. We smile, and say that hey, they are just developing and they need all the help they can get. In the end we allow it so we are fools… I’m hungry I need some beijing noodles. |

Angry Chinese Rabbit
Posted by w_thames_the_d on October 29, 2010
My rabbit, or the rabbit/hare who resides in my home is angry, she doesn’t say it but I can tell. They say that when a rabbit turns her tail to you that they are pissed and mine is upset lately. The issue, I think, is the cold, my place is freezing. My rabbit looks at me like “hey dumbass, can you turn on some heat?” I look at her like “hey its your country, you were born here, so you are Chinese and anyway the chicoms are the ones to determine when the heat goes on, I’m cold too.” She looks like “buy a space heater.” I look like “here in china, it’d probably explode. You’d chew the cord anyway, rendering it useless.” she turns her tail on me in the rabbit way of saying “whatever.” Typicaly Chinese always blaming someone else. |
