Bravo!

One final thing - my sister is studying Chinese language in Beijing (she's going to become a curator of Chinese art once she is through) - she came to Hong Kong and was amazed: "These people are so happy!"

Just so. Free trade is beginning to pry open the door, but 70% of the people in Beijing are still employed by the government. According to my sister screaming in rage about getting currency converted at a Beijing bank, boy, can you tell.
