The Karate Kid (2010 film)/Headscratchers


 * Who moves to China to get a better life?
 * Well, with China becoming the rising dragon of economic prosperity, perhaps there is good hopes for a new life. On another in movie note, several outside source materials depict this as a job transfer, so with their livelihood at stake, they had to move in order to keep and perhaps further develop their "better life".
 * China's economic power is a bubble caused by them intentionally inflating their currency to near-worthless levels in order to keep their populace poor and oppressed. Living conditions in China are sharply contrasted with that of the United States.
 * Americans who already have a job with a company based in China. In such cases the company will generally pay your rent and various other expenses, and money goes a lot farther in China than it does in America... someone on what an American would consider a fairly meager salary can afford to live a very upper class lifestyle there. However, that's only if you've been specifically scouted by one of these companies and have a job waiting for you... just moving to China and hoping you'll get a job is probably one of the absolute dumbest things you could do.
 * In the tournament, when Cheng tried to attack his opponent and refused to let go of holds after winning, why didn't he get disqualified? I'm pretty sure that's against the rules of a normal kung fu tournament. Also, if Cheng was exempted from normal rules, why did his teammate get disqualified for the same thing? At least they could have been consistent and ignored what was going on flat out instead of being selective of who and who not to crack down on.
