It's interesting that you thought Alice Bar has few Chinese customers though, when the vast majority of their profit comes from the private rooms with predominantly Chinese business customers. Learning Chinese is somewhat tough, but get Western children writing Chinese characters, listening to Chinese TV, for 8 hours per day, and they'll be able to achieve a decent Chinese ability pretty quickly.

So according to you China will be westernized, and it will be one way culture exchange... If Chinese people read you they will cry, as they often tell me that in the future the international language will be Chinese (what I never believed as Chinese learn more english, than foreigner learn Chinese). I personaly think that it is not only one way culture exchange, but that the western influence is stronger than the chiense influence... Will it change? But whatever, Chinese people will never been as American, as French/Spanish are not like American.... 886 (byebye in "chinese internet/SMS") I think it is useless to do prevision about China in 10 or 20 years… as everything go so quickly, and China face so many problems (polution, corruption, education, health, culture not always adapted to a free developed economy where people need to think by themself and take responsabilities, etc…).
