Recent News from Myself & China

I haven't posted much lately. I'm busy! My new job is really keeping me busy! And I'm really enjoying it!

But there has been some extremely interesting news lately from China:

A wave of unrest is spreading amongst migrant workers. That is something very rare. But unrest from Middle East seems to have inspired workers, as they get more worldly information and desire more public freedoms. There is even surprisingly more open discussion about grievances while they desire more protections.
Workers strike at Japanese watch factory in Dongguan
Chinese Security is said to be reverting to bribery of migrant workers to get more information and to undermine the unrest in Guangdong Province

In another more curious move, China has copied a city in Austria! I'm sure it's not quite the same, but more interesting to me, is that this is not the first city copied by the Chinese! ........ I guess they do more than copy watches.
