Q: How do you envisage China changing over the next 10/20 years or more?

  Don't have much to say to accompany the question, it's late and i'm tired, but China is going through ch-ch-ch-ch-changes. Where do you expect them to lead?

The buildings will be floating in the clouds like the Jetsons where all the rich people live, driving Chinese made hover crafts. Then down in the underworld, the mass population will be living a life of poverty in a wasteland of dump, the remains of the 20th century economic surge.

I think representative democracy will die out even in the 'West', as it will be seen to be a failure.

With the fall of the USA as a dominant power there will be a long period of technological stagnation and retreat.

The democratic nations will experiment with direct democracy i.e. via referenda on everything using internet type technology, but the 'grey suits' will interfere, this will lead to conflict.

Meanwhile those nations who ignore or pay lip service to democracy will thrive. I predict in 20 years China will be becoming dominant and Russia will be a close second. India has potential if it can sort out it's democratic system and the dreams of it's abjectly poor under classes.

LAR:

"With the.....................and retreat." I don't think so.

You are of course entitled to your opinion, but all the evidence is there, it really is remarkably comparable to the fall of Rome. The lack of ability of the military, the fall back from technology the use of money to buy off enemies. Of course then as now, the last people to see the writing on the wall were those living in Rome.

Revolution.

The housing bubble bursts worse than America 4 years ago leaving all those people who sank all they have in the world at great sacrifice vanishing leaving them resenting the shallow promises of the state.

The general population will eventually get educated enough to see what is really happening to them.  The rich kids that come home from abroad to preach their new awareness and liberalism to all their friends which will and is having an effect.

In order to keep people working during a massive slowdown in the world economy and shrinking demand for Chinese manufactured products they must keep the wages low while inflation is "harmonized" so as not to piss off 1 billion poor people barely making it.

It's a house of cards obscured by smoke and mirrors and eventually it will all come crumbling down.  

The question is not if it will happen. the question is what will rise from the ashes when it does.

The Chinese people are too smart to let it continue in it's current form for perpetuity. 

Hugh.G.Rection:

You certainly have history on your side. Chinese history is full of revolutions.

 

I am of the opinion that your catalyst i.e. a property bubble collapse is wrong, the Chinese government are very well aware of that danger as they are of the increased education, and again, if you look at history, revolutions rarely come from a predicted source.

 

The increasing gap between the poor and rich is a possible source again as history in China has many examples of that very thing leading to revolution or at the very least huge civil unrest. But I think there is just as much chance of that in Europe / N. America, it is just that the base line of 'poverty' is so much higher, the perceived injustice though, is just as great.

 

Revolution in China? Almost certainly. In the next 20 years? I VERY much doubt it.

Forward Question

Answer of the DayMORE >>
A: In my personal experience, teaching certificates have varied in releva
A:In my personal experience, teaching certificates have varied in relevance depending on the context and location. Here's a breakdown of each aspect:a) Getting the teaching job: Teaching certificates can certainly enhance your chances of securing a teaching position, especially in formal educational settings such as schools and language institutions. Many employers prefer candidates who have undergone specific training in pedagogy and instructional techniques, which these certificates often provide. However, other factors such as experience, references, and the demand for teachers in a particular area also play significant roles in the hiring process.b) Getting a higher salary than your uncertified competitors: In some cases, holding a teaching certificate can indeed lead to a higher salary compared to uncertified competitors. Many educational institutions have structured salary scales that take into account factors such as level of education, years of experience, and additional certifications. Holding a teaching certificate may place you in a higher salary bracket or make you eligible for certain salary incentives or bonuses. However, this can vary widely depending on the specific policies of the institution or organization.c) Getting promotions: Teaching certificates can be beneficial for career advancement and securing promotions within the field of education. They demonstrate a commitment to professional development and mastery of teaching skills, which are qualities that many employers value when considering candidates for leadership positions or administrative roles. Additionally, some promotions may require specific certifications or qualifications, making holding a teaching certificate essential for advancement in certain cases.Regarding which certificate yields better results, it largely depends on the specific requirements of the job market and the educational context in which you intend to work. For example:A Postgraduate Certificate in Education (PGCE) is often highly regarded in formal school settings and can be advantageous for those seeking positions in primary or secondary education.Montessori certification is valuable for individuals interested in working in Montessori schools or implementing Montessori principles in their teaching approach.A Teaching English as a Foreign Language (TEFL) certificate is particularly relevant for those seeking to teach English to non-native speakers in international contexts or language schools.Ultimately, the best certificate for you will depend on your career goals, the specific requirements of the positions you're interested in, and the preferences of potential employers in your target job market. It's essential to research the requirements and preferences of employers in your desired field and tailor your qualifications accordingly. -- ruqaiya761
