Mostyn6 Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 Everywhere I turn, one business or another is bringing on board Chinese investment, or being taken over by a Chinese consortium, especially in football. Is this odd, or is it just relative as something like 1 in 7 people in the world are Chinese, which means about 800 people on this forum are Chinese surely?!?! Anyway, what do you think is fuelling Chinese people wanting to expand so quickly? is it dangerous or worrying? especially considering considerable cultural differences with the "western" world, in particular, civil and human rights.

The fuel is market economics, so the desire to expend is always present. The reason for the rapid expansion is that the Chinese government has started encouraging more private enterprise and relaxed many of its trade restrictions. Is it worrying, yes and no. Cultural differences will soften as China continues to open up. Their government has already made massive concessions on civil liberties to where they were previously.

I love the joke - Apparently, 1 in 5 people in the world are Chinese. And there are 5 people in my family, so it must be one of them. It's either my mum or my dad. Or my older brother Colin. Or my younger brother HoChaChu. But I think it's Colin. I am sure in some way its politically incorrect now i dont know...but i always found it funny.
