Hardly Singapore is it?

Given the size of China it could not, and should not, aim to be.

Singapore can be managed because it is tiny, and has very draconian laws. It's a place I would NEVER want to visit, boring, sterile. But if you like it, that's alright. Personally China is alright for me, I like to be able to eat BBQ and throw the skewers on the floor, have a beer where I like....PC has gone mad in the UK, and too much rules, equals less freedom imho.
