I thought they were mostly good questions and the first 12 I really could not rate one higher than the others. I liked your questions about the history and Tourism, China is a very important country and in the coming years most of your questions will get asked a lot more. Your questions cover a variety of topics, you deal with trade and global power, which right now is very important then you deal with cultural issues and China’s in world history which is big and very important, so as far as one question standing more than the others I would have to say no, but there are several that are important, such as military costs, bloggers, environmental problems, Yuan valuation, I think China increasing its loans is a good idea. I would ask one or two more, what do you think of China sending people to the moon or Mars, when do you think China will have successful space program?…

1. probably, that is usually how that works, I know they have plans to go to the moon, I would think that as their economy grows they should be able to go to mars.
2. resources? If you are talking money, that could be a problem, but if you are talking technical know how and engineering then it is possible and as a program moves along they would probably have more scientists and engineers involved in the program.
3. no I think the journey is very possible, the biggest problem is going to be landing safely on an object that is light minutes away because you wont be able to adjust course if something goes wrong at the last minute, what I would hope would happen is that they get experienced landing objects and supplies safely on Mars, we should still send probes and bring back materials for testing but at some point in time we need to send people and my hope is that when they go they are not just confined to one area of the planet but get to explore a lot of it to see if there ever was life there or is still life, I think it would shake our belief systems.

The most important question is what are the top five inventions from China.

When you look at the big picture, we can all thank the silk worm for giving us such great advances throughout Europe and the rest of the world.

The silk worm opened up the trade route between China and Europe.
At that time, China was the most advanced civilization in regards to language (communication), agriculture, weaponry (gun powder), and currency.

The trade route gave us much more than silk.

Thank you China!

For me, most of these questions are important. I'm on the list of adopting from China, so the more I learn of the country, the better! I've been there twice now, and hope to be able to go again next time, but this time to pick up my baby girl or boy!
Ill try to answer as much of the questions in your list as I can, especially those that I can answer from personal experience.

Thanks for making this list! (Although the links themselves don't seem to work properly)
I liked your first question about the Great Wall. Been there twice now, and am still impressed by it.
If I have to choose one of your questions, I'd have to say 'The one you haven't asked yet'.

Yes, but for us that was not an option (Don't remember any more why not..) Right now we've been waiting in line for well ove five years, and hope to be first in line somewhere 2010, so we won't be switching to another country any more (as that would mean going back in line). So, we have to endure..

This is my favourite
40. Has China begun exporting goods to Brazil?

This kind of information is not easy to find. I had to browse some economy magazines until I found a report. Once you have the official documents it is very difficult to disprove the information.
So, this is the types of questions I like. To the point and hard to find.
Keep them comming, davepamn!
