I think I'm going to start learning Mandarin next semester Not because China is more structurally sound, because its not, but the opportunities - partly because of the inefficiencies - seem massive on mainland and greater China I just want to know what people think about anything, out there, from their perspective. I was in Australia and a young blond woman in college was on her social justice kick, talking about how horrible the US must be, and it was funny to me because her perspective was so limited to civil rights abuses and valid healthcare and education inequalities. I told her "yeah but none of that would apply to you". Because she doesn't know about the socioeconomic component, and the heavy correlations to the demographics of socioeconomic brackets, and the history of those demographics, along with the accessibility and strength of legal defense, if you can afford it. and I bet China is the same way or similar, especially if you come to the environment with a bankroll already. < End Tangent
