You see what's too much always spoil someone, even the kid has too much of anything is spoiled. We always say to ourselves that should I have a simple living life style, I should be grateful and happy about it. That's really true. The fact of the matter is when you have enough of every basic things that you need, then you start asking yourself that when can I do more...I spent a lot of hours just to have this basic living I have. Next, I should have work smart to earn more, then you want more....
This is what happens in our everyday life. It's not bad to think and act that way. Once, you get too aimbitous, you start to ask more and more. That is why the greed kicks in. The problems arise, more worries and you life is sucked and your nightmare starts....unquenching thirt of GFREED starts to destroy
what you built over a long period of time in your livelihood. Bankruptcies and foreclousures are everywhere, you will soon go back to square one, you start all over again from simple, basic life style you had before...the cycle goes on and on...
Greed is the cause of everything and anything is too much is from GREED...

What if the Chinese system stop working? China will find another one. China today is 360 degrees different than when China was under Mao. Actually, China today is very different than the China before Mr.Hu took over the hehm in China. Today, China is all over the grobe. Until Mr Hu came to power, Chinese leaders rarely leave China.
Anyone concern about the one child policy of China is clueless. The biggest problem face China today is finding jobs for its population not the lack of population. When the time come when China need more workers, China will have many options:
1. Make machines to do some of the work.
2. Send production to countries that have the workers.
3. Import workers from other countries.
Who will feed the older Chinese? Did you forget that Chinese save more than anybody else? Or did you forget the Chinese government has more money than any other country?
And do not forget, US, EU, Japan, Canada, Russia and all developed countries have a lower population growth than China. If China will have a problem, what about these countries?
China has too many males? Millions of single male workers went into Central Asia, Africa and other areas to work and help with these countries development. Many stayed behind at the invitation of local governments. Many of them set up families with local women.
Do not lose sleep over China. If there are better solutions, China will probably find them before you do.

Can China get into trouble by having too much? Too much of what?
Money? If you think too much money is bad, you can give it to me. I do not think too much money is bad.
Real estate? The average amount of living space for a Chinese family is less than 50% of an average Wesrern family. It will be a long time before there will be too much real estate in China.
Steel and cement? Would you rather not have enough of these stuff? The price may come down. Is that not a good thing? Some companies may have to close down if they are uncompetitive. I still do not think that is bad!
So, what is so bad by having too much?
