wow........thats...kind of amazing really.
while I'm the last to call myself a 'world traveler' by any stretch, picturing that being a norm in a culture of that size is hard to do thru 'american eyes'. add to that, picturing any DL being trashed by the masses is just so contrary to what Ive seen its truly hard to imagine.

I did find one line in that a bit odd really. Not being versed in mainland chinese culture I thought this line was particularly interesting:

Quote:
"China, especially the mainland, has a tendency to regard all actions in terms of whether they will bring a profit or loss."
isnt that terribly capitalistic in what is supposedly the largest communist country in the world?

If I remember right, a series of economic reforms took place in China in 1974. They've been so successful that now we're worried about China surpassing the United States in power. In my opinion, they already have surpassed us in many ways, but we're not willing to admit it (though such behavior at a Disney park may cancel out progress.... ugh! )
