 | Source: International Finance News It is said that the sales volume of the luxury market in China has exceeded 2 billion dollars and ranks the third in the world. The first and the second are US and Janpan. The villas in Florida, the Cuban cigar, the Scotish whiskey, the luxurious private plane and a painting worth 30 million yuan are exhibited at the Shanghai International Expo Center. Those luxurious products are designed for the riches. On the one hand, it shows that Chinese people have become rich. On the other hand, a problem also is revealed. Is this a reasonable consumption? Most of people will shake their head. They just show off how rich they are. Maybe it is not proper to say so. Some people will say that you are jealous of them if you say so. What is your opinion? Eager to hear it. |

| Yes, I believe these figures...the widening gap between the rich and the poor is initially the price to pay for development. |

| Most rich people got that way at the expense of others. Species and entire cultures are driven to extinction to assist in other people's opulence. I don't like it. |

| "the widening gap between the rich and the poor is initially the price to pay for development. " Yes, Paul. We have paid too much for development. The disparity between the rich and the poor is a serious problem. The government should handle it cautiously. |

| The government is aware it's a problem but it doesn't want to stop the entreprenneurs from keeping the economy rolling.... but it's at the expense of some of their policies on a harmonious society and achieving a Chinese scocialst market economy. Tough choices!! |

| Greed fuels "progress." Greed and capitalism walk hand-in-hand. Greed is one of "the 7 deadly sins." The wealthy can always justify their consumption saying, "I work hard to buy my vacation home in Sanya..." or some variation of that. It is their money. They usually worked or schemed very well to acquire it. Everyone should read and memorize the I Ching section on contentment. |

| Greed is one of "the 7 deadly sins." Yes, Griz. "Everyone should read and memorize the I Ching section on contentment." You mean that everyone should has his or her satisfaction. Is that right? |

| the rich can not exist without the poor, nor the poor without the rich "I assume that they can only be one of the same; that is to say, one without being" |

| Herbicide. Your perception sounds like dialectic. The rich and the poor can not exist without each other. If the poor 'disappear', the rich can not be regarded as the rich because they are the same at that time. Quite interesting. |

| "it is true" just as in... The dark only exists in the absence of light just as the day in the absence of night. Both are one of the same origin, the origin being nor neither or the two. |
