[quote=GRIZ326,228607]In 1978, Chinese life appeared to my eyes as uniformly simple with not too much disparity; in 2006 the disparity could be displayed in terms of rich/poor. China's economy is destined to soon be the world's largest economy. How this great weath eventually distributes itself will be very interesting. It will unquestionably provide great riches to the greedy, dishonest, and the politicians; it remains to be seen how much wealth will reach the throngs of workers. To the Chinese people living the simply Chinese life they will never be poor; for those chasing the dream of wealth, the greatest hard times are just beginning. The gaps between rich and poor will become even more immense than I could see in Beijing last year. As for the beggars, I have seen very few of them in China. I saw two children asking for alms in Shanghai 1978. The people surrounded them and gave them money; they would not allow me to contribute. In 2006, I saw a few beggars and wouldn't have known a truly improverished beggar from a trickster. ...but the story of begging is the same the world over. If you feel to give, give. If not, don't. Capitalism is poisonous...it might have been "the apple in the Garden of Eden."[/quote]
