And remember "IF YOU DON'T LOVE IT LEAVE"

I think Malcolm has far too much time on his hands and needs a 6 pack, a steakburger and a good lie down.
Where would China be if we and many other countries weren't buying their cheap goods?

probably better off than Australia who rely heavily on selling them our minerals for them to produce their cheap goods

I live in Shenzhen and Guangzhou for nearly half the year and have done so for 7 years. My son has lived in Guangzhou for 6 years straight, visiting Australia for a couple of weeks a year and he can't wait to get back to PRC - I wouldn't be too quick to judge unless you have first hand experience.….......

I can tell you that there are a great many things that are FAR, FAR better in China than they are in Australia - many in Australia just don't know how many of our freedoms have been eroded away over the years in the name of "security" and other such bull. Australia is without a doubt a police state!

I met a businessman here in China last week and he was telling me about his visit to Australia. He couldn't wait to get back to the safety and certain income of PRC.

I bought a new battery drill from Bunnings recently and I was tossing up between two well known brands (one made in China the other made in Mexico). The 'salesjerk' said - "theres no difference, they are BOTH made in third world countries" - how uninformed of him and just plain wrong. China is further from a third world country than Australia is and if we don't lift our game and stop relying on "selling our soil" WE will be the third world country sooner than later!

We need to reign in wages big time and start to MAKE something....there is no other way out and we are all deluding ourselves if we can't see this. We MUST value add our soil before selling it overseas.

Anyway, I don't listen to those who have never been to China and seen it for themselves (and I don't mean an overnight visit to the Great Wall) because they simply have no idea!

Happy Australia Day - enjoy it while you can......
