RE #1

I know that, in some poor region of USA, people supplement their income by growing pots. If guns become scarce due to strict gun laws, they may switch to illegal-gun manufacturing.

I did not know that things are this gad in China. We all heard about lagging development in hinterland of China. Now, they are resorting to old-fashioned way to make money. Producing illegal products which are strictly banned under the law, with the nudge and the wink of local officials.

I found it very interesting too.

30 years ago, this could not have happened. Now that Red China is allowing her people to think for themselves, there's no telling what they might try next.
Home rule, anyone ?

Do Chinese people know that Americans who are interested in articles like this are not necessarily anti-China?

I think this story is very human, with a lot of complexity involved.

However, if I posted this on lundian.com I would immediately be attacked by Chinese posters who would feel it necessary to point out drug violence in American inner cities and claim that the author of this article was a liar.
