China have a population of 1.3 billion, U.S. have a population of 300K.  We call ourselves a country of freedom, liberty, and justice.  When was the last time Americans oked on the war?  Did they ask any of us U.S. citizens?  And what is the results???  If we with a population of 300K don't have our freedom, liberty, and justice, what makes you think we even have a slight right to tell a 1.3 billion population country what to do... again hypocrits...  China is growing at 5 times the pace U.S. estimated it to be... Damnn proud I am a Chinese.
Forget about naming Taiwan as a country, it will never happen.  You ever been to Taiwan?  Ever seen the politicians from 2 parties fighting on the streets and in court???  They want to be listed as a country???  Dreaming... and that's coming from me (part Taiwanese girl).
Now in regards to the amount of poors in China, U.S. isn't much better, I work 60 hours a week, and 37% of my money goes to the so called poors, whom are just people who sit at their homes doing shiet... damnn parasites that live off of my hard earned dollars that goes to taxes...
