Foreigners love China,should Chinese love China,our native land? The question is left to the readers to think,ponder and reflect the international status of China in anticipation of upcoming Olympics: Beijing 2006 and Shanghai Expo 2010. I have reason to believe that China has a promising future because of the people with the good leadership. China has joined international community to make contributions.

Francis Shieh a.k.a. Xie Shihao,a graduate student from Shanghai,China to USA in 1947 but lectured in China many times as an educator in economics to compare economic systems of USA and China with avid learning zeal of the English and Chinese languages plus the philosophy of life to be applied to Americans and Chinese in the 21st century for common interest in goodwill.
