What's this?
Who's leading the conversation?
This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user
has on the current conversation.
The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd
row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera).
Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group
is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the
left, in their corresponding group.
Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the
number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative
one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their
relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.

I think they must use the same recipe at the local take-away!
Only kidding. I'm not famous for my consumption of pork, as flavouring for cardboard or otherwise.
On a more serious note it does show the Chinese have a big problem. For years we've been talking about China taking over as the next great economic power along with India. Trouble is China are just now discovering the benefits of economic liberalisation but are way behind with the process of getting the required framework into place to ensure the quality and safety of the products that their overseas market will demand.
It's not in their culture. These things evolve naturally in countries with free market economies where there is democracy and consumer power. Even then it takes takes and can be a bumpy ride.
China may well one day become that great all powerful economy but it may be longer than most people think before they get their act together well enough to make the necessary economic push. In the meantime there are other forces at work (political, cultural and social) and China may yet implode before it gets its chance to take over the world.

I agree Dennis. They have so many changing forces there--it've very interesting from a sociological point of view, but not from a humanist point of view.
