ok..I'm back to give more information for Ranson..
take a look at the awards that Hong Kong airport had gotten. Is
Hong Kong a country?
HAve you been to Shanghai?
Have you watched 2008 Beijing Olympics?
The
Rolls-Royce outlet in Beijing is one of the brand's top-selling
dealerships. And Bentley Beijing has sold a half-dozen 728 stretch
limos -- at $1.2 million each, the world's most expensive car --
more than any other dealership in the world.
China's not a normal country - it's a huge empire, it's
like the first world, the second world and the third world co-exist
together.
In terms of trade, China is the largest trading nation in the
world today
In big cities like Shanghai, first world China and third world
China don't just co-exist, they collide.
Car sales in China surged by 45pc last year to 13.6m vehicles,
easily eclipsing the 10.5m sold in the US and the growth story has
continued this year with first-quarter sales up 63pc on 2009.
Many car customers are still in their 30s and the youngest was
just 28 years old, which is very different from what you see with
the Rolls-Royce brand in other countries.
For China's very rich, customisation is king. Among the busiest
stalls in Beijing were the specialist out-fitting companies such as
LongboHummer, who take the world's most vulgar car, stretch it and
then vulgarise it still further.
BMW, which already sells twice as many of its top-of-the-range
7-Series in China than anywhere else, announced this week it
was raising its 2010 sales target to 120,000 vehicles after seeing
February sales up 96pc this year. It plans to make 200,000 cars a
year in China by 2012.
"The real profits are coming from China," said John Zeng, an
auto industry analyst for IHS Global Insight. "China is now very
important for global automakers both for profits and sales
volume."
In a nutshell, the wealthy people in China are extremely wealthy
and the poor are ...well, you know the answer.
Chinese are found in almost every country of the world and
immigration invariably brings people from different levels of a
society in a particular country into another particular
country.
A self-percieved notion due to the number of rich and poor
chinese in a particular country would tend to cloud your awareness
of this global phenomenon. Put it in simple english: Research
before you speak out.
