What's really goin on in our country?

I recently looked at a classmates posting about poverty and the most disturbing thing is that China is coming up like a whirlwind. Their poor are becoming richer and you would think that because they are communist, they would be poor. But hey, they are a billion strong and they control what is going on in their government and the people seem very happy to be a part of it. I had a dream of going to China and living there because I love the culture not as much as my own, but since they have admitted that they come from African decent makes me proud to know that there are people out there that may not care about what they see in this day and age but they give honor to their ancestors...
