The INTERESTING thing about China is that

It's no longer a 3rd-world country.  Sometime apparently in the last couple of decades, it, and its billion or so people, simply moved up a notch or two to first-world--and the automatic spectre, evoked by the word "China," of disease-ridden, famine-decimated, starving and dying masses of people, just sort of faded away.  No reason any more to send them missionary relief.  Hmm.
