While you were over in China did you have a chance to visit the particular province where HRCT central headquarters is located? I know China is a big place . . .lots of people, lots of smokers. . .lots of rice. I was wondering whether you had a chance to share a cup of Won Ton soup with any of the HRCT administrators. ?? Or discuss the potential for "Sticky Poo" gum.
I was wondering, why doesn't HRCT just try and start an "office supplies" company or something that provides the materials these "vocational schools" are going to need (books, binders, pens, day planners, etc)? There is no profit in the industry in the industry in which they are presently focused. None. Nada. If there were, the PRC would take control. You know, one thing they may very well want to consider is "chewing gum" or "bubble gum" delivery to schools in China. That could possibly reduce the number of people who smoke cigs (reducing pollution and cancer caused by second hand smoke) and increase the number of people who get bubble gum on their shoe. This, in turn, would be great advertising for HRCT. I can see it now. . .
"On your shoe, is HRCT Poo Sticky."
So everyone could sue HRCT for "Sticky shoe" syndrome which could create a national "Sticky Awareness Day" sponsored by HRCT. The famous "HRCT Poo Sticky" gum would cling to even the best of shoes. All over the nation (in China) could be the infamous "Sticky Poo" gum. So when travelers come to America (from China) they can brag about the awesome stickiness of "HRCT Sticky Poo" gum. That is just one of the many awareness programs HRCT could pursue. At least that way, HRCT could stick to something.
Peace,
