This is the second English-language China blog post today that mentioned, in passing, 'things here aren't bad like in Guangdong.' (The other was on Danwei,, "We haven't seen many shuttered factories in Zhejiang or Jiangsu, and I don't think they are as badly affected as Guangdong.")

What's the sourcing on this? Apparently people in other parts of China are just mentioning that things are horrific in Guangdong? Because while I have no special knowledge of Guangdong as a whole, but from my small window things look quite different from the gloomy picture being painted by far-off agencies.
