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.

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

laowaigentleman:

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.

A: "... through ..."?  Only "through" comes to mind is "Shenzhen agent can connect you with an employer, who's authorized to hire waigouren ... and can sponsor Z visa." It's not like every 10th person you meet in Shenzhen's hood can sponsor work visa ...  The only way to change from student to labourer visa is just a regular way by: 1. Finding an employer, who'll apply for an Invitation letter; 2. Exit China and apply for Z visa in your home country's Chinese embassy; 3. Enter China in 30-days after Z visa was stamped into your travelling instrument ...As I am aware, you won't be able to switch to Working permit by remaining in China....,so make ready for a return to your home .... -- icnif77
