	Undeniably, on average the Japanese are still winners.

	Because the future of China will belong to the next generation
	which means our future is in our own hands. What will happen 
	when the old folks die... I've thought about that but still
	don't foresee anything... What I'm expecting is a ray of light  
	on the horizon, and I'm optimistic all the way.
