Korean women greet you with a winsome smile, slight flash of eyelid, a murmured greeting. Chinese women smack me on the arm, "HI!!!!". Chinese squeeze from years back had a husband in China she sees every 5 years. I asked her don't you miss him, and she just waved her hand. For low income chinese this is apparantly common. they get married, then go work somewhere for a few years. Alone.
China is a communist gulag that treats its citizens as a commodity. I asked this woman what she thought about Tiannemen Square and she said "its pretty". I wasn;t sure if she genuinely did not know about 1989, or she was afraid of saying something to an American in his own home 30 years later for fear I would turn her in.
