Undoubtedly China's economy will overtake the U.S.' in terms of GNP in a decade or two and per capita GNP a decade or two after that.

And Enron's stock will keep rising forever, amen.

China is Enron with nukes. Eventually, they're going to go broke.

We're the ones who are going broke.
Reagan didn't defeat the Evil Empire by running up a huge trade deficit with them.

I like the article, but there is one thing it failed to mention. That is the people of China which are going to be the biggest stumbling block to the government.
The more economic independence the people achieve the more social independence they will want. People that are not poor are more educated. With education come questions.
Commies don't like questions.
Capitalism and Communism do not mix.

Soon the Commies will loose their power.




Watch and learn.

I'm not an economist, but it is hard to see how a population with a shortage of women, vis a vis men, is going to be econmically successful. No where is this demographic problem addressed.

Or the problem of two adults caring for four elderly adults (their parents) while raising a family.
