hahahaha, yeah, and its been already used as a advertisment for Time magazine i think
hehehehehe.Anyway, since China got such a big population, its little wonder that they are building the BIGGEST of everything, from great wall, grand canal to anything, there is a saying, when china builds things, they build them big.
I can imagine, world biggest country club, swimming pool, stadium, cinema, amusement park, parking lots, restuarant and many other things coming soon or already on the way.
Big isn't everything. I'll be more interested in what they do sell, in there.

Mall craziness. like China, is hitting India, but on a smaller scale...more malls, but not bigger.
As for their success...well it depends on location and city. Some cities just have too many, causing a cutthroat competition between malls, whereas others have positioned themselves well enough to attract sufficient youngsters and serious shoppers.
Malls, like most other things in this world, I believe are just a fad, the Chinese and Indians, like the Americans and Europeans, grow out of it,....after they have spent 3 hours looking for a parking space for a 10 minute shopping spree.

Hmm... you're talking about the suburban mall, a giant self-contained box in the middle of nowhere. The typical Chinese mall is usually located instead in the city center, sometimes right across city hall! Overpasses and oftentimes even a subway station open directly into it, while somewhere along the perimeter are bus stops and taxi stands. Parking space is definitely not a worry for the typical Chinese shopper.allhailIndia said:Malls, like most other things in this world, I believe are just a fad, the Chinese and Indians, like the Americans and Europeans, grow out of it,....after they have spent 3 hours looking for a parking space for a 10 minute shopping spree

If this leads to a weakening of the government's controls over the Chinese peoples' lives , I'm all for it .

Umm...no. That can only be a bad thing in the long run. It could end up resulting in the freagementation and weakening of China which would be detrimenmtal of the economy of Asia as a whole allowing Western econimal hegomoany to regin unopposed by the East and weakening the Three Powers Alliance thus severly disrupting the balance of power in the world and Asia.
China I beliueve has the way. It has found it's own model of economic growth and government without copying the West like we did and that is something I admire.

that is today...I am talking about maybe 4-5 years from now when the no. of people in the malls will double along with no. of cars and such like.
Also, six malls within spitting distance of each other, even in the city centre cannot really be good for the traffic situation.
Of course, I am speculating on the basis of possible spurt in mall interest which people may soon get bored of. It is human nature to get bored of most things within a short period of time.

You could have said the same thing about Japan during the Meiji Restoration, and we all know how that turned out - relatively well for Japan, up until they signed onto the Axis.
