Well.......... the UK has David Beckham
laowaigentleman:
Well, ok. David is not an economic powerhouse is he? He was always a slave working for his massa.
His massa has always gotten the bulk of what he generates without putting in anything except the right of access to his stadiums and newspapers.
China is the opposite. I am sure guys like Wang Lianlin are easily interchangeable.
I can't believe that guy is an entrepreneurial genius when I see his malls built in the arse-end of nowhere.
ScotsAlan:
He is not famed for his intellect, but he has a lot of money :-)

Anywhere where there has been a major power shift, and people are profiting from the turmoil. China is not special in this regard. Just the sheer size of the country and the mass emigration make this class of moneyed princeling idiots a global phenomenon.

How does China compare with the oil states in the middle east?
coineineagh:
oil sheiks profit from that, but there isn't much wealth spread around to other uneducated fools. most of those countries don't have turmoil from power shifts either. some of the sheiks make the news, but they don't affect the local people's culture as much with their shallow greed. just a guess. i remember a story about a gay Saudi sheik-son traveling in London with his butt-monkey: he decided to openly assault the man, recorded on elevator video. when his butt-monkey was later found dead, sheik-son behaved like he was above the law. i doubt the average Saudi citizen is that bad.
Paris Hilton, Donald trump, Mike Tyson to name but a few stupid/rich people. Definitely more stupid rich people in China though. You can take a farmer out of the country but.......
my old tutoring school cost the parents 120 Kaui an hour. Yet many of the kids still didn't get the question what color is this after 500 times of trying. Generally their parents were streetsmart or lucky parents that are richer than I ll ever be

I've just started back at work over the last couple of days and I've had the exact same problems.
A bunch of kids said they wanted to watch zombie movies. I told him that if he wanted to watch zombies he should go to a Wanda plaza.
