What do you think of China

[ErwinChen]

I am a Chinese college student majoring in Software Engineering.
I just want to know how the world think about China, about Shanghai, and about the Information Technology of China.
Please give me your opinions. THX.

China is ok.

[Ejaz]

I would like to ask one question. Does every one in China knows Kung Fu and whatever Martial Arts (like its shown in the movies, where it seems like if you mess with any Chineez, you'll get a kick, where it hurts....Ooouch)

In Economics side, China is really kicking some asses. In my country, most the smaller industry is being taken over by Chineez products, and it seems like in the next 10-20 years, there will be no small industry around.

Technology, most of the electronics in my market has the label of China over them.

[Deniz]

Going by Ejaz's example, are all Chinese elders, also sages who write fortune cooky proverbs?

[Kheun]

Regarding fortune cookies, it is actually being invented in America.
I learnt that when watching a documentary on American food. yam yam... make me feel hungry.

I like China, I know some people that were from there and they went back when China had that SARS scare.

Ha~ It seems that our Kung Fu is mysterious in many foreigners' mind. Actually, it's not so powerful as you think. Like you just mentioned, what you've seen is just in movies. And Learning Kung Fu is not to attack, just to improve your health, in Chinese we say it "强身健体".
Most of us know Kung Fu, but not every one can really play it.
We will teach you Kung Fu if you come along with us. HaHa ~~~

I dont undestand whay teh need to pop it up as a theme for a repeated song time after time. If I were a Chinese, I would bring stuff like how long i have been away from communists to join the parties of the zoologists.

Ok, in return I can teach you programming, so I guess its a deal, Kung Fu for Programming. I guess when I'll return from China, I'll be called as "Sholien Programmer"

Another thing I like about China is how you guys build your houses out of ice, and how there are penguins everywhere. Thats really cool. And the polar bears are really cool too. China is great!

Sorry, I was thinking of the polar regions.

China is where they have the camel caravans, and the nomads, the belly dancers, the kebabs & the deserts & the pyramids, am I correct?

[cherish]

Oh, and yeah... my comment about China:

I think China is starting to catch up on IT. And with plenty of people, a lot of economists (im not sure if that's correct) are seeing a pretty bright future for this big Asian country. I agree.

Whatever.

[Deniz]

Whatever.

No no no, I know...

China is the place where they have the massive rainforests & the giant river with anacondas & piranhas & stuff isn't it?

No?

Is it the place with the zebras & elephants & monkeys running around?

No?




Just kidding, no offense to anyone from China. Sorry if I offended anyone.
