Can I use Chinese?

希望20年后的中国小孩能自由的学习，不再为了高考而不得不学。（如果再有《超级女声》这样的活动，小孩的家长老师不再是因为耽误学习而反对而是因为利于身心健康而支持）希望20年后的中国小孩生长在环境污染得到控制的地方，在其他国家长大的小孩不会再因为环境问题而不愿意踏上中国这片可爱的土地。希望20年后的中国小孩的父母不在为了生计困扰，小孩能有生活的物质条件。新闻里采访到一个年收入1000元而说着自己知足的农民不是再以“农民生活有了长足发展”为标题说事。希望20年后的中国人有更多的梦想，而不是梦想到钱财。

one day,easy for chinese get a tourist visa,everywhere around world, we want go for holiday!!! No more suspect of emigration.

In 20 years, I'd like my people to enjoy - 1, a free press with minimum commercial interests (least political ones) 2, a visible and genuine civil society with mass participation 3, an independent legal system by which people feel protected rather than threatened 4, pursuit of good taste and quality of life instead of high salary, big house and fancy cars 5, not necessarily democracy but a participatory and well-balanced political system 6, re-establishment of the credibility of governmental institutions, the party and certain important professions (such as doctor, police, jurist, teacher, tv anchor, journalist etc).

In short, i hope the Chinese society in 20 years would achieve a high degree of social justice and at the same time autonomous of foreign intervention (culturally, politically), however under the context of globalisation, economic connection with the rest of the world is inevitable and could be beneficial.

Laowai, (meaning foreigner in mandarin) I appreciate your effort to try to understand our country and our people by curiosity (or a bit more than that, taking into account the influence of Niu3Peng2you3 etc), in comparison with ACB (angry Chinese blogger) who is connected to us by blood (my guess is he's Chinese Japanese, in his late 30s). I get referred to your blog by the link of CSR China (Stephen Frost) based in HK - just to tell you how famous you are in and outside China :-) And i've passed a wonderful morning surfing on your blog as well as that of Ming, ACB and Gordon, though it’s out of my research area.

Salut et à la prochaine, Sarah

I'm from China and am living for education in the States. My hopes -or expectations- for China, based on my comprehension of the nation and governemnt thru 5 years business experience there are:

1/ The Communist Party will eventually change its name to sth it really is rather than a misnomer that's convenient to use. Given its lagacy and capacity in organizing, the party will still in power even after a relatively free election.

2/ The power-money deals between governement and business will persist and evolve into a more sophisticated and secretive relationship, partly due to the ever-increasing pressure and resistance from the people and media. The relationship will be like the ones you found in nowadays Korea, Japan and Taiwan region.

3/ Pollution will be alleviated after reaching a peak.

4/ Guanxi will continue to play an improtant role in the society but more space will be available for personal success thru hard-work and creativity. Tolerance has taken its root in the culture after long-time inter-action between Chinese and western world.

5/ (This is a wish, not an expectation.) China will have successfully transferred into a steady society without experiencing nationwide voilence and riots. By steady country, I mean the country is on a self-sustained stable track of developing without being ruled by military,dictatorship, or other iron-wrist approaches. The worry of becoming an Asian-version of Latin American country, or Latin-Americanization, will have gone.
