Articles : DaqingDevil commented on news Is China Still Following Deng Xiaoping's Axiom, "Hide Your Strength, Bide Your time?

Right on! Scary! Beware of the enemy within. Hundreds of thousands of Chinese have emigrated to the USA and other countries so regardless of how strong economically and militarily China becomes many of its residents still seek to live elsewhere.

Here's another problem Zhang didn't identify when talking about Chinese placing too much importance on learning English. If the Chinese education system was vastly improved then citizens with money might think twice about sending their kids overseas to learn. There's no beter crtitic than the one using the system.
