China

and equal treatment in developing its friendship with
Africa, where 47 of the total 53 countries have forged
diplomatic ties with China.
It is no surprise that African nations see China as a
sincere and reliable friend, and are willing to lend their
support on some crucial issues. To read the full report,

7. Business: Paying Taxes in South Africa
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
As
many of our clients live in South Africa and we regularly
have queries from prospective immigrants about the tax
system in this country, we have decided to review the
series of articles published by our local reporter. This
is the first of this series.
There
are two main ways you will pay tax, namely direct taxation
on money you earn from your job or investments, and indirect
taxation, which is mainly based on money you spend.
There
are seven facts you need to take into account with direct
taxation. To read the full report, go to our NEWS

13. Immigration: An all too familiar story about
illegal immigration
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
= = = = = = =
Skeptical
Americans who continue to ignore the potentially very
severe social and political impact of massive Mexican
immigration should heed the following: According to the
2000 Census, the U.S. population had increased by about
13 percent from 1990, but the number of people who identified
themselves as Mexican had grown by 53 percent.
If
this trend continues, the majority of people in the United
States could very well be of Mexican ancestry within a
few decades. Mexico is clearly using both legal and illegal
migration to strongly influence U.S. policies and future
elections, and to eventually extend the Mexican nation.
Another amnesty could speed up the process of creating
Mexamerica. To read the full report, go to our NEWS
DESK link.
Editor's Note: Europe has a similar problem with
the Asians moving in for a better lifestyle; the major
difference is that most of North America once belonged
to the Mexicans. Are they simply reclaiming what is theirs
by birthright?
