I live near Guangzhou. It feels like a really small city. There is an urban core, but not much else. If they are including some 44 million people, they must be including Hong Kong and Shenzhen, which are both much larger cities than Guangzhou itself.

Tokyo is mind-blowingly different on every level.

Folks are leaving the state much faster than they are arriving, so when you combine a below-replacement birth rate with a rapidly aging population, things aren't looking too good in the state which inexcusably has the nation's highest poverty rste thanks to liberal policies and decimated construction and manufacturing industries with no chance of either coming back to life, which certainly explains why Toyota is leaving much to the indifference of Brown and his ilk.

Blah blah blah... California sux, blah blah blah, liberals suck, blah blah.
