Even though a large percentage of poor folks in china are high, remember their population numbers. The low percentage of their middle class and graduates with degrees (which are increasing each year), if calculated in numbers can easily rival us. Some still think most of China is in the backwaters, which is true, but they are curning out more folks with degrees and the middle class, as we continue to sitting on our ass promoting sports instead of math and science.

This is a great idea as I bet they spend very little money on building maintenance.

Chairman Mao used to hang out in a very similar place, while fighting his war

We used to say eat your vegetables, there are children in China that are starving. Now we need to tell our children, study hard, there are children in China who want your job.

Seems like an excellent use of natural resources. the fact that they have a playground and desks and such is an improvement over many schools all over the world. Sad for those of us in the "first world" to see that while we are striving to get the next "in" video game or clothes, kids in so many parts of the world are striving to get out of poverty.
