7 Reasons Why I Like China

With the current craze on Belt and Road Initiative, many people have taken a serious look at China again. From my several trips to China in the past one year, there are 7 reasons why I like China:

#1 - The people are friendly, although they may not be courteous or wanting to please you. But they get things done. And from my interactions with them, people in China seem to be happy.

#2 - The food is delicious and cheap. A good meal for me costs about 10 to 20 RMB, which is very cheap and good, for they often include rice, soup, meat and vegetable

#3 - Safe. Crime rate is low in China, and risks of terrorist attack is low due to the tight control of the government over everyday life in China

#4 - Transport is cheap and good. Public transport by bus, train and high speed trains are cheap. Metro starts at 2 RMB while Uber-like taxis (Didi) is often half price of taxis, which starts from less than 10 RMB.

#5 - Abundant business opportunities due to the high growth rates over the past few decades and not showing any serious slowdowns as of today (May 2017). Whatever business you are doing in your home country you can bring it to China, except for media that is not under government control

#6 - Vibrant, lively, and endlessly entertaining. The night never sleeps and the morning starts as early as 6.30 am

#7 - Thousands years old and ultra modern Art, culture, history, architecture - FANTASTIC!!

"Gentlemen", continued the Officer, "Every time the training gets tougher, one thought comes to your mind, 'Why Must I Serve National Service?' "My answer to you is, 'If Not You, Then Who Else?'" Wow! What a powerful phrase! If Not You, Who Else may mean: You are the most suitable person, and we can't find anyone better than you. This is appreciation at the highest level How can you push this responsibility to someone else? I am making a request to you specifically, please don't reject my request Can you find me another person more suitable than you? Please refer me anot...

Kindness as a Way of Life: How Kindness can Reward You 6 Times Over

Kindness as a Way of Life by Andy Ng Kindness is a universal language that transcends cultural boundaries, enriches human connections, and has the power to transform lives.
