Shut Out At Home, Americans Flock To China For Surging Economy

New York Times:

Shanghai and Beijing are becoming new lands of opportunity for recent American college graduates who face unemployment nearing double digits at home.

Even those with limited or no knowledge of Chinese are heeding the call. They are lured by China's surging economy, the lower cost of living and a chance to bypass some of the dues-paying that is common to first jobs in the United States.

The grass is not greener on the other side of that fence.

I can't get any decent Chinese food in my town and it's my favorite. Where do I apply?

I guess this was the "big plan" of all the politicians and their wall street financiers to destroy what they can of the US while pilfering its small investors of everything they can steal from them. Why does the federal government hate its own country so much?

[IntellectuallyHonest]

That is really, really adventurous. People who do something like that have balls.

After I read this article and wrote my comment... today, I found emails from alumni friends - recent graduates exploring possibilities of going to Shanghai..­.

I said... wow... it is real...

Part4of4: "The 5Dimensional American in Global Village"

Mature 5dimensional beings are keenly aware of connections between all living beings and things. They respect connections to ancestry and posterity, and their environmental habitat. Humans that care nothing about drowning polar bears in rising arctic temperatures, or levelling mountaintops in openpit coal-mining leaving toxic sludge downstream, or clearing rainforests for urban growth, or irradiating planet Earth for billion years with radioactive wastes, will not care about financial ponzi schemes that defraud, or healthcare schemes that reject the sick, or mass transfer of wealth from poor to rich. They all stem from indifference to spiritual connections between livingbeings and things.

America is in much more than economic and cultural crises. The poverty of the spirit and spiritual connections in the 5th dimension to other living beings and the global habitat is in fullblown crisis. Consensus of world climate scientists have been warning for over a decade that the global warming climate crisis has about 10years window of opportunity for humanity to make drastic corrections to their soulless destruction of the global habitat.

The redemption of America and the global humanity is waiting for birth and growth of mature spiritual beings to bring America into global village, become good global citizens and stewards of earth's environmental habitat. America is waiting for the "New 5Dimensional Americans".

yeah right. And china is so very concerned about their environment.

If America is up to the challenge of technological and moral / spiritual leadership, it would have to come from a new class and generation of leaders. The neocon cabal and ideology are totally bankrupt in EVERY dimension. Neocons have dragged America back 150years, to the wildwest days of Jesse James and Billy the Kid. Through their lies, arrogance, stupidity and inhumanity, they have demonstrated to all Americans and the world that they cannot be entrusted with power. The only thing they have succeeded in doing is leading people to the toilet.

The disconnect between the problems facing main street and Washington keep widening. For the past 6 month's we're nothing but talk of regulation, but zero action. What a joke.

good articles..­. http://www.iamned.com

[Rumeerez]

At least I bet the educated americans that are going to China know how to spell ''riddance''.

[levelshot]

LOL!

[BlueDog1]

Oh well off shore the jobs and we have to follow. Great plan George I guess we pay taxs in both places what a deal.

If they can't come up to our standards our neo-cons will take us down to them. Geogre put so much on the Chinese credit card we will be toading rocks for a 100 years.....­.....

Sort of answers the healthcare thing if no one is here don't need so much healthcare­..........­......

Viva Reaganomics.

If Americans really knew what's really going on, This revolution would be justifiably violent.

[Chopin]

People should have caught on to "Trickle down economics" and asked probing questions like:--
What is going on?
Who is being trickled on?
Who is doing the trickling?
What's that pile of gooey stuff that's trickling down the backside of the Grand Old Ponzi GOP elephant? The people supposed to eat that up ?

If you look deep enough into any story you find the reasons behind the headline. Take the story "Unemployment at 9.4% - lower than expected" Well here is the reason, PBO promised jobs - he just didn't say where!

[proudblackman]

Talk about government controlling your life... I would NEVER move to China. The Chinese government tells you what you can and cannot look at on the Internet. They shut you down if you try to criticize their government. You cannot freely practice religion in China no matter what you are. Hmmm, I think it's a no-brainer. Thanks, but no thanks.

I am one of them, moving to Shanghai at the end of August. 6 figure EUR income, more than in the US.
