Haaa, I read yesterday about you'r-in-China prosperous future outlook:
https://www.globalresearch.ca/xi-jinping-the-geo-economic-emperor-with-a-15-year-head-start/5627310
snippet: "....The 2020 – 2050 development plan will have two stages. Its aim “will no longer be to double the GDP” but “to choose to enhance the quality of growth”: to develop China into a great “modern socialist country” which will be “moderately prosperous from 2020”. “Modernization” will not stop with the vulgar economism of GDP growth but will entail “greater attention to social well-being, regional balance, national security (sic) and political cohesion” in the “Chinese way”.
The uncertainty they contemplate, that hovers on the horizon, rests on the degree of openness to global capital, which may denature and destabilize China.
The promises Xi has made and in light of which history will hold him to account, consist in eradicating poverty by 2020 (already achieved), returning to unpolluted blue skies, and to making China a modern country by 2035."
Chinese are buying everything and everyone ....
I was watching vid on u-Tube last night about Chinese Moon landing and releasing robot's Moon photos. Very intriguing what they found and they didn't kept it as top-secret. West cannot find out why Chinese release it to the public. Pics from the Moon are about remnants of most likely ancient, very advanced culture ... all explained by the USA scientist.
If anyone can see u-Tube stick 'What China Found on the Moon is the Most Astonishing Space Discovery Ever' in search ...

Stiggs:
Or yet another question could be...
Why is XXXX beer called XXXX? Is it really because they can't spell 'beer' in Queensland?
Aside from the amusing name it's not a bad beer.
iWolf:
That amber nectar is the local brew from where Phil and i haunt. Not even hot water or liang cha can stop you getting pissed. And no, we can't spell that's why most of us teach English in China.
