[Y^^]: The Stopping Enginge, China?

[Y^^]: The Stopping Enginge, China?

This post is solely based on some friends. There is no statistic grounds.

I heard that China is industrialized enough, so Chinese Government select which industry the foreigners can invest. FDI is allowed in high tech industries only.

However, when I talked to some business men, they said that they did not want to maintain factories in China not because of the regulation but because of the wage and long holidays. There is no definite advantage compare to South East Asian countries any more.

They were considering to move to other countries. They said, if they built a new factory they would not build in China.

Twice a year, there is very long national holidays. Before the holiday the workers do not work and just wait for the holiday for about a week. After the holiday, they need one more week to adapt themselves to the work. One month passes in a holiday. There are two very long holidays. That means two months of a year is wasted. Moreover, the companies should give some presents to the employees. Productivity is lower than what they thought before.

There are a lot of people in China, but they avoid hard works. So, nowadays many people prefer Vietnam. The wages of Vietnam are higher than those of Bangladesh or Cambodia.

The zeal for education in Vietnam is high, and the employees are well educated. Someone said the national traits of Vietnam closely resembles those of Korean. The wages are much lower than Korea, though.

Of course, the basic science and advanced technology of China is superior. Also the huge market can not be ignored. China will continue to play an important role in the world. But the role of China as a dynamic force for growth may evanesce.

Taiyi Zhenren (Chinese: 太乙真人; Pinyin: Tàiyǐ Zhēnrén) is a famous character in Chinese folk tales. According to the opening of the famous novel Fengshen Yanyi, he is the reincarnation of the first emperor of the Shang dynasty, Shang Tang.

In Fengshen Yanyi, Taiyi Zhenren is the renowned teacher of Nezha, the celestial being destined to bring peace back to the Zhou Dynasty. Taiyi Zhenren is stationed atop Mount Champion and instructed Nezha to stay at Old Pond Pass - the place he had been born. After Nezha experienced great trouble with Ao Guang and went fleeing back to him, Taiyi Zhenren would at first be seen in deep thought; Zhenren would soon draw an "invisible juju" along his back however -- as to give him a safe passage to heaven through invisibility. After Nezha created further issues with a woman by the name of Madam Rockie, Taiyi Zhenren would soon be seen face to face with her in front of Taiyi Zhenren's cave which Nezha retreated into for protection. After having no choice but to be rid of Madam Rockie, he would start off by disabling the silk scarf which she stole from Nezha, and then trap her within his Nine-dragon-fire-net. While trapped in this net, Taiyi Zhenren summoned several dragons which unleashed a large volley of fire into the net; instantly killing Madam Rockie and turning her back into her original form as a molten rock.
