The Good People of China

Al Vandenberg

Mongol ? Ming ? Mao ? Money


The driving force that propels China into the 21st century is economic. Deng Xiaoping, the leading thinker in China?s market economy, decreed ?to get rich is glorious?. He set in motion an unstoppable force ? one country ? two systems ? socialism with Chinese characteristics. The single-child policy has produced a well educated, money driven generation of young people living in a high tech society. Politics is boring. Mao has become an art object. China?s building boom is a state-of-the-art work in progress. Young people have become the new heroes of the Revolution.
