The Committee of 100 survey that I have mentioned here in the past asked the question of American opinion leaders -
What is the first thing that comes to mind when you hear "China?"
4. Human/religious/civil rights - 16% (this is the percentage of the US population that are treehuggers and activists)
3. Communism - 16% (they think this means everyone eating off of the same table and sharing the car)
2. Population - 40% (finally someone realizes that China has something the rest of the world doesn't - the largest population in the world)
and....
1. Economic growth - 55% (more than half of the leaders realize that China is doing some serious growing economically)
What did you think of first when you hear "China?"






A country making great progress but nevertheless still a world behind countries such as the USA. We must mobilise the entire population through better education and that could only be achieved through reforms in the educations system. China's educations system is too rigid and no doubt filtered out way too many talented people. Leaders of China, hear us!
