  4. Foreign investment down, consumer spending down, imports and exports down, real estate down, but GDP is up. What? How? I doubt all numbers out of China too.

The Soviet Union used to do the same thing.

  10. The only R&D that China does is steal others' ideas, tech, and patents. Creativity, innovation, and originality is not encouraged in a Communist dictatorship. But theft sure is.

  11. Wow, you can say that again. But I wouldn't understand it then either.
