Can you imagine a country where 3,000 new cases of AIDS develop every single month? That's happening in China according to state media in that country.

That's quite a few cases, even in country with over a billion people. The same state media report concluded that 38 percent of these new cases happened due to sexual transmission -- a rise of over 30 percent from the prior year.

Is China a ticking time bomb on many fronts? Perhaps the explosion in population combined with a stellar economic growth rate recently is going to cause severe mismanagement of overall growth on every front in that country. On the health front, this AIDS news is not even close to good.
