M$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'.

"Man with one chopstick go hungry. "
"He who asks a question is a fool for five minutes; he who does not ask a question remains a fool forever "

Have you thought about Adopting from Thailand?
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..
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!

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!

The follow-up comments to the best answer highlight the deficit spending of the Government, but that does not take away from the huge $290 BILLION Trade Surplus in 2008. That money mostly used to be AMERICAN money, but now we have to borrow it from them and pay interest.
This question and answer could provide background and source information for so manyo ther questions I've seen here on Mahalo. One that come to mind just now is the WALMART issue, are they good or bad for America? I think when we look a little harder, we will see a large portion of that American Money that is now Chinese money, was sent to CHINA by WALMART.
Your question brings into focus the result of our consumerism and our love affair with cheap goods. I hope more people will see this question and its answers and think what it means for the future of the world.

hello, they are all good questions, all interesting. Very important questions.
Because it hits too close to home, I hesitate to comment. I have several friends and their families who have moved to America from China. They are near and dear to me. Part of my own life is deely rooted in a respect for Chinese culture, also.
If I had to choose one, I'd note the importance of their inventions and contributions to world society.
Space and Mars questions
1. Is China planning to send a Man to Mars to prove technical capability?
2. Will China and Russia have the resources and know how to create a Mission to Mars?
3. Do you believe the journey to Mars by China is nearly impossible?
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.
