How things change! And how soon!
Now every town of any size seems to have a “China Market”．And everyone is talking about China．
The government of India has planned to send a team to China to see how things are done．A minister once said that India must open the doors for more foreign investment(投资) and such a step would “work wonders as it did for China”．
But it's a two way street．I just heard about a thousand Shenzhen office workers who have gone to Rangalore to train in software．Meanwhile，all the IT majors are setting up a strong presence in China．
No wonder that trade，which was only in the millions just ten years ago，is expected to hit about USMYM15 billion for last year and USMYM20 billion by 2008，a goal set by both governments．

While the private schools may be charging too much，some of the publics are risking their futures by charging too little．Low tuition is fine，as the state assigns enough money to education，as has generally been the case in Texas and California．But for years，New Jersey's legendary resistance to taxes condemned Rutgers University to second-class status．“Of what real worth is a low-tuition policy，” wrote Rutgers' former president，the late Edward Bloustein，“If it dooms students to an education below the quality they want and require?”
New York State's students might ask themselves the same．A series of protests pressured Governor Maria Cuomo into canceling a $200 rise in tuition last year (prices haven't gone up since 1983)．And what's the result?
