I’m not saying you are, but there’s no way we will ever have more cell phone users than China; it’s impossible.

A distraction perhaps.

How about the fact, your cell phone (as well as your computer, your iPad and everything around you right now) was manufactured there.

In factories, which employ a billion Chinese increasingly, technologically sophisticated skilled workers - who just one generation ago rode around in Mao jackets on bicycles.

While we argue whether or not to start “QE3”! And pontificate about “going Galt”.

Soon as trends continue - we will be the ones on bicycles, while China makes IBM PCs under the name “Lenovo” as well as everything else we buy.

Sending our money. Every dollar eventually. Out of the country.

The degree of denial we are in, is staggering.
