China

With all the western corporations coming to China and all of the economic growth, can China maintain its unique culture? In 50 years will rural Chinese still live without electricity farming as they did hundreds of years ago? Will the quaint Chinese architected towns still remain? Or will Chinese culture fall to skyscrapers and McDonalds?

I gather this impression from the sheer number of online magazines, websites featuring business and technical content and other news stories emerging from China. Xinhua, Shanghai Daily, China Business Review, People.com.cn all have English subscriptions.

While 4-5 year back there was practically none of this available, it seems no longer the case - a lot of information about China is now available in English making it easier for foreigners.

On a comparative scale, I found the English websites from China to be more in numbers and quality strength compared to many other non-English countries - comparable to Russia, Germany and Scandinavian countries and better than Italy, France or Brazil which tend to have more content in their local languages.

Also it shows in Wikipedia that most youngsters in Shanghai are comfortable in English as it is now compulsarily taught in middle school - does that mean a high level of "street fluency"?

I guess I'm impressed there's way to go !

I'm interested in anime/manga or other Japanese stuff. I don't know if there're any shops in Beijing (center) that have these things. And one more, I prefer small stuffs like keychain, small figure, stationery so what do you think I could buy for souvenirs
Thanks for your help anyway.

I have a penpal off a penpal website that is supposedly from China. I am writing back and forth by request from my teacher to earn extra credit towards next year in my language class. I told her that I live in Florida, and that I am on summer vacation. She said that she was on summer vacation too, however... isn't it a different season in China now? Typically when, and how long is their summer vacation? Could this girl be lying to me? I don't want to lose points if my teacher finds out that this is not authentic. She will think that I havent learned anything.

He put clearly in his profile that who he was and why he is doing this and he even list up our ids (including me) and view me as enemy. It never bothers me at all, whatsoever he said, because I know the truth and I go to China very often, I live in Hong Kong and I have been to more than 25 countries and over 100 cities, a frequent traveler, but would there be any of you guys (non-frequent travelers who are looking for information) believe in tthe false info. he put here? You may check his profile below and his answers in this category.
