Think of All the Hate There Is in Red China...

GlobeScan, an international polling firm, asked people in twenty countries, “Is the free-enterprise system and a free-market economy the best system on which to base the future of the world?”

Seventy-four percent of Chinese said “yes.” In Canada, 65% agree. But only 36% of the French.

Shows where Marxism’s last redoubt really is.

The Chinese were actually more pro-free-market than any other country surveyed. That's what seventy years of Marxism can do to your politics.

Top five most pro-business populations:

China
Philippines
USA
India
South Korea

Note the heavy Asian presence. This could also explain why it is booming, while France's economy is on the ropes. Although, to be fair, the equation might work the other way: in Asia, the successes of the free market are most evident. Hence more popular support.
