"They believe in self-expression," said Huang Hung, chief executive officer of China Interactive Media group. "They believe in individuality. They believe in pursuit of happiness for themselves."

1. Heh...'takeover attempt'

China is now moving towards being a fully capitalist country, and joining the rest of the world in trade and travel. Exactly what the US has wanted all these years.

China said it would free up the economy first, and then government.

So far, the Chinese seem to have had the better idea.
