What shall Chinese be to-morrow? 中國人將來會怎樣呢？

May be we can say there are two many things happened in 2008. Not only have the various successful events from Olympic to space walked; now it is the financial strength.

I am sure that no one can expect China will have the status today, just about thirty years of opening up.

Remember the very first stage, when China was cheated by Japan with inferior quality machineries, finger-pointing by America with just earning a few cents per pair of shoes, turning a cold shoulder by European nations?

Perhaps the worst thing is have Hong Kong people taking advantage of cheap land cheap labor, getting lots of profit, yet pretending to be the victim for China's Open Up.

I had asked those who said so why not moved the factories away if they suffered so hard. Of course, we know their answers. ince I have nicknamed them to be the cancer of China, let's drop them down now.

One thing I learn from my years' observation. Gossip and rumours in China are a kind of habit. The same person who criticized authority might argue about the goodies of communist party the next day. Chinese, including those in Hong Kong etc., are always against the government and are always trying their best to cheat the government to avoid tax.

Although the G7 is ready to become G20 and it started to name China as the vital part for the future, I believe China authority will be so naïve to accept such privilege.

Of course, we shall see more bullish Chinese, the same as those American after the World War. We may need them because the world needs some points to make joy of and this will keep China look like less powerful.

Just check the difference before and after the SARS. After China released more visitors to Hong Kong trying to help the recovery, The manner of these visitors took a great turn from humble to ego.

If China has to help other countries, please do not take the same method. With Hong Kong, it is a domestic event. With other countries, it is international. A thousand ugly Chinese tourists would make the country shame.

我們可以說2008年有太多事件了。不單止那些成功的項目包括奧運至太空漫步，現在更有金融的力量。

我相信沒有人可以預測中國在開放了三十年，就已有今日的地位。

還記得在初期時被日本以低劣器材欺騙，美國指手劃腳下只能瞣幾分錢，歐洲各國的冷落嗎？
可能最差的是香港人利用低地價低工資獲得大量利潤而又擺出因中國開放後的受害者。

我曾問這些人為什麼這樣悲慘又不把工廠搬走。當然，我們都知道他們的解釋。既然我已稱他們是中國的毒瘤，這次不談他們了。

這些年來我從觀察學會了一個情況。傳聞及流言是中國人的習慣。相同一個人可能大事批評政府而第二日又會為共產黨的貢獻來爭議。中國人，包括在香港等地，都是經常反對政府而又是極力欺騙政府來逃避交稅。

雖然G7已改為G20而且開始有稱中國在將來是重要的成員，我深信中國政府不會盲目接受這種地位。

當然我們會看到更多的大款中國人，正如大戰後的美國人。我們可能需要這些人因為世界上是要有成為笑柄的中國人，這樣中國就看來不是那麼強大了。

只需重溫沙士的前後變化。在中國開放多些人來挽救香港經濟後，他們的態度由謙虛變成了自大。

如果中國打算幫助其他國家，請勿採用相同的形式。在香港，有問題是家醜。其他國家，就是國際關係。上千個醜陋的中國遊客就是國家的恥辱了。
