Chinese concerned about U.S. economic woes

By TERRY R. CASSREINO


MADISON (Saturday, Dec. 20, 2008, 5:35 p.m.) – Many of the Chinese we met during our Dec. 2-Dec. 18 adoption trip were concerned about one thing: The failing United States economy.


Everywhere we went in Beijing, Zhengzhou and Guangzhou, the Chinese whom we met and whom spoke English all wanted to know just how bad the economic crisis is back home.


I was fascinated with their concern, especially in a country that is still a developing nation. My answer was the same: It’s very bad, it could get worse but Presidet-elect Barack Obama will bring much needed change to the nation.


Our economic problems won’t end overnight, I said, but President-elect Obama will put us on the right path to correct the problems of the past eight years.
