Over the past few years, we've been hearing and following stories on the massive rise of the middle class in China ...and the biggest urbanization in human history.
Times are interesting ...it's all happening within our lifetimes. I remember when I first visited China 20+ years ago, it had a very earthy and rural quality to it...as if time had stood still, especially in the Cities.
My visits to China last year, sure opened my eyes. I was amazed at how fast they've caught up to the "West", and in many ways, have surpassed North America.
Anyways, I am interested in your thoughts.
Canada's TV network, the CBC, together with TV France, Discovery and the New York Times will be airing an epic four part series, called "China Rises". Here's a link to it:
