What we are facing are 1.6 billion Chinese

There are only 1.2 billion Citizens of China. Of course, many citizens of China aren't Han Chinese -- you've got Tibetans, Mongols, Uighurs etc. And South East Asia, America and Australia have a large number of ethnic Chinese (Lucy Liu anyone?). What are you trying to say?

Actually, we're both wrong. China has 1.3 billion according to the State Department.

The reason this is important is that the vast number of people in the Third World means that any job that is outsourceable will be incredibly cheaper to do so. This will create a race to the bottom in which our standing of living will approach the Third World more than the reverse will happen.
