Thank Jack for you speak out what you see and what you feel about the true China. Traveling is great for it lets people see. Welcome every American to China, to see.

This was an awesome article! Obviously, there is a lot to learn about other countries. Most Americans haven't got a clue about anything but their immediate surroundings. I do have a question for you. I recently went to a Brotherhood Brunch at my Temple. The speaker talked about the Jews in Shanghai. Do you know if their is a significant Jewish population in China? It would seem that there should be Jews in Hong Kong, Shanghai, and other cities there. Did you see any synagogues while you were there? I was just curious. Perhaps you could let me know.

Keep on writing. I really enjoy your website.

I enjoyed reading about your impressions of China on your recent trip. It sounds facinating! It was great to read about your prospective through your many years of business development in China.

I saw a recent program about a jeans factory in China.
They interviewed the workers, who were mainly young women (even 14 yrs. old). They worked unbelievable hours while living in dormatories away from their families. Their wages were meager, as was their food.

Does this still exist in China? I suppose it must take time with progress. Look at our history in the US.
Child labor laws aren't that old!

I would be intersted in your remarks.
Lots of love and thanks, again, for sharing your recent trip.

We read your article and are looking forward to hearing more about the China trip. I also printed out the piece on "Senior Survival Guide" for a heads up for Mike, who tends to be excessive in his exercise routine and golf practice. His attitude about golf needs adjusting. Less self denigration and more enjoyment would be good.

It was just fasinating reading all about your trip to China. I enjoyed reading about your first deal in business with the Chinese after you got out of the US Air Force. What a lasting and wonderful relationship you have had with them over the years. I was, however, very surprised to learn how progressive China is and how modern they have become in the 21st Century. I am very pleased to learn that starvation no longer exists. Sadly, when I think of China, I think of rice patties and many people living in poverty. I am glad to learn that this situation has gotten a lot better. I love the Olympics, and I agree with you that I think China will surprise a lot of people around the world with presenting the 2008 Olympics in a way that most people wouldn't have imagined. It will give many people a whole new impression of the Chinese people and their government. Thank you so much for giving us the opportunity to read your comments on your most recent trip to China. It was an insight into a country that I really don't know much about and was very pleased to hear such positive comments on a country that is certainly an emerging power in our world!
