Sure it is. You just need a little imagination.

Quote from newguy05:

things will balance out over time. China went from 1 extreme to the other. Just 30 years ago everyone had the same government job, made the same pay, lived in similar government provided housing (there was no private home ownership). Now 30 years later, as the world's luxuries are piled onto china for all to buy - just need money. It has become a full blown capitalist society (in the cities) where money is god, nothing else mattered.

Eventually as the chinese get used to this western life style of excess and money-buys-anything, things will balance out to the norm, as other qualities come back in focus along side money.

But not now though...

Over time, over time meaning in my opinion at least 15-20 years! The last amount of time this could balance out is maybe 10 years but that is pushing it.
 
Materialistic people are never happy, nor will they ever be because enough is never enough and somebody will always have something bigger/better/more expensive than them - and that really pisses them off.

Couldn't happen to a nicer bunch of people :)
