Beauty contests are always rigged in favor of the host country, from my observation. So the host participant tends to be in the final ten, even if not among the winners. There was a contest held in Ordos and the winner was a Chinese and it provoked any outcry of bias judging. But the winner of Miss World 2007, Zhang Zilin, was a worthy winner IMO, regardless of the venue being held in Sanya, China.

The kind of trends the Chinese follow show up their gullibility as Third World nation people. They will take another generation or two to come of age. Unlawful activities committed in China were prevalent in Malaysia and Singapore in the 60s and 70s, like adulterating food, food contamination and selling of condemned pork. We did not have that many traffic signs and rules in those days. Many people were uncouth and the older generation was a disgrace to their own countries when they holidayed in foreign countries.

Developed countries have sheeple too. A curious craze made this inventor a multi-millionaire, in Sterling Pound:

Education is the key, I'll say. Sometimes I am very very curious what China is capable of when years from now the Chinese population has been replaced with highly-educated population with unrestricted flow of information but also restored Chinese cultural values with modernized liberal ones. Off my mind I think of Taiwan, Singapore, Hong Kong but without the Western and Japanese influences, and reminded of scholars and artists like Lu Xun etc. However will the future China experience certain societal issues and trends found in modernized societies? And how will they deal with those?

Of all things though, I believe Xi's anti-graft campaign is the right direction towards restoring the Chinese civilization. The weak rule of law and corruption prevents and slows societal growth and from addressing societal issues as well as adopting the right and proper values, and by purging corruption this is reguiding the society towards the right direction. Couple that with raising standards of living through increased wages, controlled inflation, and investing a lot and a lot of money on education, this will permit a much greater room and direction to move the population towards the right direction. Of course all of these China is doing, but I hope to hear more progress or news of, although unfortunately there's not much independent media covering these.

And holy f there's a dead mosquito in my milk tea.

I am also curious about how the Chinese people will progress from being indifferent or callous to being caring and helpful. We have seen them being totally unhelpful to strangers' suffering, reason being there could be repercussions. It seems that the system is in place to thwart helpful acts. So I suppose the Chinese govt has to dismantle or change they system to nurture a compassionate and helpful etiquette.

Mind boggling, that is what I can say of his endeavor. Pundits attribute part of the reason for the decline in luxury spending to his crackdown. I was flabbergasted that govt officials could so easily indulge in luxury foods like shark's fin soup, expensive wine and fish.

I believe the rule of law, a more effective, fair system is needed to defer exploitative behaviours, but also education to teach the future generations what's right and wrong and to stand up against unfairness. This in a way, can come in conflict with current CCP's ruling due to abusive officials and political powers, hence again of course the need for anticorruption and the rule of law. They also need a much better witness protection and whistleblower protection program, some media freedom that permits safe expression of these scandals(followed by effective law enforcement investigations and actions), habeas corpus, checks and balances, civic movements and lawyers, or else it's slower to hold those responsible accountable, and the innocents assurance. Of course this system mirrors the Western system and by no means perfect, but I think it's a great start. When good people don't get punished for being good anymore, and the society promotes/encourages valour, courage, honesty, all that right stuffs, then I believe it helps people do the right thing and take a stand and know it's worth it and people will stand for them. It's pitiful what's happening as of now yet still, and that's all due to the corruption and ineffectiveness of the rule of law, assurances, and lack of education/awareness and societal adoption off the right norms.

I think his anticorruption campaign may last 2 decades, but if new officials are being trained to adhere to the rule of law and the system and play by the rules, then China's system can effectively change. It's gonna be worth it.

Xi Jinping, in his 2015 new year message, said:

In 2015, China will continue reform from which "there is no turning back" and advance the rule of law to protect the people's rights and interests, guarantee social justice and promote national development. Reform and rule of law must be advanced at the same time to achieve an "all-round well-off society" by 2020 as scheduled

He has already proven he has the resolve with his hunt for corrupt officials.
