...triple or quadruple those in the rural hinterland. Not only must Hu attempt to engineer a soft landing for China's steaming economy and markets, he must also ensure that the myriad problems facing the hundreds of millions of Chinese left on the margins of the boom - lack of access to health care, education and clean drinking water, among other issues - are addressed. If they are not, social unrest could rapidly increase. The number of "mass incidents," large demonstrations that often deteriorate into violence, hit a record in 2005, according to the most recent full-year government statistics. If ignored...

Asians are an immigrant group that has historically succeeded in completing the steps toward full assimilation: first, acculturation to the majority’s traditions and way of life, followed by socioeconomic advancement and gaining of access to major institutions, and finalized when ethnicity is no longer a salient issue. This claim can be backed up by examining the incidence of intermarriage, which in racial theory is often viewed as the final stage of assimilation (interracial intimate relations are expected to increase with weakening ethnic attachments).
