I disagree Christain S., you are taking things out of context and you don't realize the current situation of the world at the moment. If you did know the current situation, you would understand that under the conditions and circumstances they are doing the best they can.
I am in Hanoi,Vietnam right now as I write you this, and I must say that Beijing has Hanoi beat 3x over. Generally speaking, in modern Chinese cities you will be able to live pretty well and equally with a normal Chinese citizen, but in Hanoi, there is not such equality, but two prices to everything, the citizen's price and the "outsider's" price. So because of the colour of my skin and because I don't have a Vietnamese passport, people charge me 3x as much for something as simple as bottled water! Also in the city, it is common to have power grid black outs, meaning Hanoi cannot fulfill one basic need of 21st century man..... electricity...
You forget that the Chinese government just recently and literally forced Wal-Mart Corporation to allow worker's union, a first in Wal-Mart history.....
Comparing China over the past 50 years with other countries, I think they are doing a pretty good job at keeping 1.35 billion people fed and in pretty good health.....
