Hehe I really am surrey born and bred, no plans of living in china!
My mate grew up and went to uni in Tjinjin (spelling?) so is definately a chinese guy in the chinese system. He's used to the communist goverment as well - his grandfather had the cheek to own a factory so they took it off him. Then when they caught his grandfather trying to board a plane to Thailand they put him in jail and threw away the key. So my friend is under no illusions but his family and friends are back there and things are comfortable for the city professionals
i think that chinese eastern pilot was part of a banned religion whose followers are often executed for their organs
Having said all that he's one of the most cheerful people I've ever met. Same can be said for a guy from Baghdad I used to work with. So there's probably something to be said for growing up in s**t holes!
Thanks for your help
MrS
