Chinese students at the University of Iowa began coming into Carousel Motors in Iowa City about three years ago to get their !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! and !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! luxury cars serviced. Finally, general manager Pat Lind started asking if they'd ever considered his dealership when they made their original purchase. No, the students told him. Back in China, they'd been told to buy their wheels in Chicago before heading to college. !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!!

On a political note, I'm wondering at what point China has a communist revolution.

Yes, I am being serious.

And Cadillac supposedly is a better car? They have serious legwork to make up to be a 'premium' brand....When Chinese students opt for a Caddy over a MB, then there will be progress..

I see people complain about wealth inequality in this country, and then direct them to read up on China. There's going to be some very bad stuff going on there in the next decade or two.

Already, you've got entire towns going under siege trying to fight off corrupt governments who are dealing with business to buy peoples' lands for fractions of pennies on the dollar, and then turning around to make billions off of the deal. There's going to end up being people lined up against walls before its all over.

The Chinese government needs to realize that before they meet a wall.

I worked in China for almost a year, and this.

It's going to have to change. The government is NOT going to LET it change. I foresee violent revolution within the next 30 years.
