      I have thought of going there for the experience, and I have interests in learning about the culture.

      Mainland China is a communist country only in name.  Mainland China has millionaires (over 391,000) and billionaires (over 40) according to Forbes http://factsanddetails.com/china.php?it … bcatid=70. It doesn't treat its stud
