Weak economy? Taiwan is in the top 20 wealthiest countries on earth, thanks to having their own silicon valley. China sits down with Iran or Romania or some other hellhole in comparison, I don't go off national economy but living standards and costs as a whole. China is positively third world compared to HK, Macau, and Taiwan. All prosperous countries with good education and healthcare. And before the wumaos start, HK and Macau , have their own flags, internet domain, police and currency and customs. That's good enough for me!!!!
