Lots of ridiculous unintelligent slanders being thrown my way for sharing an opinion today hey?

1) Lived here 5 years as stated previously...try reading the post if you want to respond.
2) Have a nice but not huge apartment by any means, but always nice of you to assume something when you have no idea. Maybe you don't know the phrase concerning "assume".
3) Speak quite a bit of Mandarin and my wife speaks Mandarin, now English, her home province language and a small amount of Cantonese. Again, you and your assuming! lol
4) Have never had a maid in the five years I've lived here, but do have two small dogs and a newborn daughter. (I know I already posted that I have a daughter, but you probably won't have read that).

Anything else?

I honestly can't believe the amount of backlash and pure hatred sounding remarks I got from stating my opinion from what I've seen in China so far. Thought I would just give fellow CPers a Canadians side who lives here, but I must apologize for that I guess. So, I'm sorry I stated what I believe.
Good post. I mean, you can disagree with this poster if you want, but at least he's giving his perspective from experience rather than all these armchair posters, who's never been to China, but feel the need to criticize China, with their knowledge purely from the media or what the heard from other people.

Yes, we can disagree on the treatment of Tibet. But I swear some people here (and I only say some) are using this thread as an opportunity to bash Chinese culture and Chinese way of life in general.
