China on the Move

[Snarl]

Are you starting to get the picture? China is on the rise.

They've got it going ... that's for sure.  China is the only nation capable of doing things on a grand scale.

I've got a cousin who lives there.  He's into textiles.  Has five warehouses that would completely cover a football field.  Probably three or four stories in height.  All of 'em packed stem-to-stern with clothing.  When he buys, the cost is $3.  It doesn't matter what he's buying (pants, shirts, coats ... whatevahs), three frikkin dollars.  Think about that next time you're about to drop a hundred bucks on a nice dress shirt 'made in China'.  LOL

Stayed in Addis Ababa 'between adventures' several times.  Place is still full of Ethiopians.  I wouldn't be investing in Chinese developed real estate ventures ... because I'm too dumb to understand what's going on.

Someone figured out how to sell air basically.  You buy an apartment.  That apartment exists in the air.  You've got a 30 year mortgage on that apartment.  The apartment's not in a livable condition in 30 years.  You've got no investment to pass on.  The building's going to be demolished under government order.  Rinse and repeat.  But, now you're 50+ years old and can't buy-in to one of the new apartments.  So, you go off to live in Silver Town.
