Does anyone actually like China?

Question by N S: Does anyone actually like China?
To begin with, let’s just be clear that this is an attack on China, not the Chinese.
Let’s face it, to the West and to most other nations, China represents an enormous threat. It continues to expand militarily, build nuclear weapons, consume resources at an incredible rate and its economy increases exponentially, as does its population. It consumes and pollutes with no regard for the rest of the world or the environment, and represents an authoritarian bulwark of Communism to many nations. The Yangtze river dolphin just went extinct due to a non-existent concern to preserve any form of wildlife or biosphere, and instead a focus on industry and expansion- the Chinese contribute the most to Global Warming, yet they are doing the least to stop it. It also slowly but surely destroy its fantastic culture and history through Communist principles- the future China will be bland. And if World War 3 breaks out, it’s going to be us versus China- this is not a simplistic assumption- it’s widely accepted. It displays expansionist and imperialistic behaviour such as with the Tibet situation, a deplorable attitude towards human rights, and it’s predicted that there will be a small war against India in the next few years involving Himalayan borders. I think it’s pretty clear who the world will support then.

If you disagree with the above statement, I’d love to know the other side of the argument. I know it might be controversial, but that’s my opinion on China at the moment. What do you think?

Actually, many Chinese don’t really like China- it’s oppressive and authoritarian. Remember the Tianamen Square massacre? Think about the way it’s dealing with the Uighurs. Most Chinese people are indifferent towards it- it provides jobs because of big building projects, but it is not a free society.

Does anyone know where is the exact address or place of the Shanghai Cruise Centre?

Question by JENNIE: Does anyone know where is the exact address or place of the Shanghai Cruise Centre?
This cruise centre is the port of cruise ships that cruises around the world like the star cruises, crystal cruises, venus and asuka2 cruise ship. I would like also to know how far is it from the International Airport? Would it cost me too much if I take a taxi cab to reach the cruise centre? How about the cruise Centre of Dalian, China? What part of China is Dalian? I haven’t heard of it.

Answer by THEGURU
With its great distances, countless museums and long coach rides, China can be tiring for even the most enthusiastic tourist. That’s just one of the reasons why a Yangtze River cruise works so well within a standard tour of China, as it provides time for perspective and relaxation in the middle of a challenging excursion. Combine that with the continuing interest in the river generated by the construction of the Yangtze River Dam, and it’s easy to see why many tour operators continue to make such cruises a centerpiece.

Sun Yatsen laid out his vision for the great dam that is now being built. Operators continue to push the fact that travelers must see the river before the dam is completed in 2009, when the Yangtze will dramatically change. Indeed, the diversionary canal at Xiling, which runs for a mile and a half around the dam’s construction site, has already altered the cruise experience, even before the anticipated rising of the waters that the completed dam will cause.

“Despite all that, the Yangtze River remains a wonder. From its beginnings in the mountains of Qinghai Province to Shanghai on the East China Sea, the river runs 3,690 miles, feeding one in 15 of the world’s population along the way. It’s longer than U.S. Interstate 80 (New York to Los Angeles), and is the third longest river in the world, after the Amazon and Nile. The esthetic heart of the river is the 118-mile stretch that runs through the Three Gorges, the walls of which rise as high as 1,000 feet.

“The standard cruise, covering approximately 850 miles from Wuhan to Chongqing, typically lasts between three and six days, depending on whether the vessel is heading up or downstream. Passengers take in numerous temples, some thousands of years old; the essential Chinese beauty of mountain, mist and river; and village life along the river.

“The dam will raise the river by 560 feet, creating a lake 360 miles long that will submerge many of these ancient villages
