you got it spot on! China is a repressive government run by a corrupt mob that puts out a nice dinner table for visitors!.
Hey, As an American, you feel poor? you sound like an ungrateful, spoiled, and entitled idiot, who can't see that he had the greatest luck in he's live to be born or become an American!
See, what happens when you watch too much TV, you start believing all the rich looking fantasy "Movie Studio props" are real for all the Chinese. Ask a non-elite, non-party member Chinese how he feels to be a Chinese and living in China rather then the USA, and do him a favor, ask him where he is not afraid to answer honestly because he'll be thrown in jail for a long term re-education on how great he should feel to be part of this great wealth the party is building for all it's people!
blackbox,
. First off, you probably should read the name handle more carefully to figure out who to address. Second, why do folks like you take offense so easily when someone mentions that certain aspects of a life outside of the U.S. is possibly be better.
You pretty much missed my point. I wasn't saying China was better than U.S. I saying that the quality of living was improving, average chinese folks are growing in wealth, which was apparent from the commerce that was going on in the locally. You probably haven't set foot in foreign countries and sound like you're living in denial that everything is perfect here.
I'm pretty greatful about this country. In fact, I wouldn't want to live anywhere else. But at the same time, anyone would be a fool to deny there is plenty of overseas opportunities. If you want to continue to wallow in self pity and denial that everything is fine and stick to your own ignorance, that's really up to you.

I said I visited the country….Based on what you talk about "non-party people", etc… Seems like you learned all about this from TV yourself. Ignorance is bliss. Good for you.
I can tell you as a chinese born american,I see pros and cons of living in US. Generally, here i have the freedom to criticize. But I do feel a stigma of discrimnation both in school and in corporate america. I'll be happy to elaborate on that. But frankly, I'm not going to play the "race" card and scream racism/discrimination. And relatively speaking, I have a pretty cushy life here. At the same time, my ability to do business in China will be limited, as I really am not considered chinese by locale people there either. In fact, being caucasian and showing interesting in business, you stand a greater chance than being american born chinese that can't read/write chinese.
Anyway, you really should take the blinders off, and look what's going around in the world. I wouldn't want to live anywhere else, but other parts of the world are definitely moving faster at this moment in time.
