China is changing so rapidly that actually the whole cityscape has changed during a couple of months. Everywhere there are construction sites where people are working day and night. The distance to the West is shrinking in Beijing and Shanghai and the distance between the people in the metropolitans and the people of the countryside are getting wider. The trendy city crowd drink their coffee at Starbucks, change their names to American names at work, bleach their skin and want to speak English with an American accent.
