The Dumb Foreigner and my journey into the hinder land of China.

Anita describes her recent trip to Western Chinese Tibet. Because they considered her a dumb foreigner she was lied to about salaries normally earned by Chinese school teachers and Principals. Anita describes the shock experienced by many Chinese when they realize that she knows prices and was not fooled. 

 

Anita then described the road traffic she experienced on her long jeep trip into Tibet, where nearly all the traffic was large convoys of 100 or more military vehicles, but almost no civilian traffic. These trucks were proof that China is heavily investing in roads and infrastructure, far more than Vietnam, but China will have to balance that with expenditure on social welfare for its numerous poor.
