Hello Lya, Welcome to Friends.

I have huge admiration for the Chinese People. You are a very ancient culture and have much knowledge and wisdom that began in China. Like Acupuncture and Chinese Herbal Medicine. Tai Chi, Qi Kong and all the Energy therapies. And now we are taking them up and using them in the Western World thanks to your discoveries of them.

You are a very diligent and hard working and polite people and never cause any problems when you come to live in another country. I see that from the Chinese people who live here in London. You are very welcome here.

Sometimes I think your Government is harsh, but then again, China is a huge country and maybe the Government feels it needs a strong hand. I know that the Government is working very hard to make life better for the Chinese people. There is much industry being built and power stations to give Chinese people more of what we have in the West.

We have many programmes on the TV about China. I have been watching one called Chinese School. You have amazing standards of schooling and Universities that would put ours to shame. I see the Chinese children in the upper school work from 8am to 6pm each day and then have evening studies as well.

I think your law of 1 child per couple seems a bit strict. But then again, the alternative is to allow the country to become so overpopulated that there is not enough food for everyone and people starve, so it is probably the right overall policy, but not easy for the individual who has to limit their family.

There has been controversy over Tibet. But I know that the Chinese Government allows the Tibetans to live as they have always lived. They are allowed their Buddhist monasteries. They are not governed by the one child per family rule. A wife is allowed to have 3 husbands which is their custom. If they marry one man in the family then they marry all his brothers too, so that inherited land does not become split up. Tibet is still able to retain all it's old customs. So I don't see China being such a wicked oppressor of Tibet as some of our Newspapers try to make out.

I'm interested that you are able to access our Board. I thought China kept very tight boundaries on internet use and kept it mainly within Chinese Borders. I was not aware that you could surf the whole internet. Would be so interested to hear all about these things, or if some of the things I've mentioned are not correct. I have only learned them from TV programmes.

Bye for now, Hope you come back and post some more.
