The current disparity of high / low technology as well as the income gap in the upper minority and lower majority in P.R. China in 2003, leaves one pondering how long can Deng Xiaoping ism last without another revolution.

This is my tenth academic year in China. So you are counting, well let me just give you about two hundred and fifty words. It will be worth it to me just to exercise my fingers.
