CHINA was once called "the Sleeping Giant". "When she awakens, she

appointed apartments, and lack of freedoms. Chinese now wear Western
attire, have private business and property ownership, and are free
to travel throughout their own country. China is slowly becoming
more and more like other nations. The "Giant" has indeed awakened!
