I've been to China...several times.My first visit was in 1980.My most recent was in 2016.It's a big country and I've only really seen one part of it...that being the southeastern part,the part that's within a few hours of Hong Kong.That portion of China is said to be the most prosperous part of the country,apart from Beijing.

In 1980 rush hour in Guangzhou consisted of a few buses,a number of army vehicles,a few government limos (Soviet style) and about 500,000 bicycles.I was there...I saw it.

In 2016 rush hour consisted of bumper-to-bumper Toyotas,Huyundais,a couple of Chinese makes and Buicks (yes,*Buicks*).

But the problem is if you travel a few miles south of the city you see that the people still live like savages.China's economy is a mile wide...and an inch deep.

The biggest mistake,by *far*,that the world's industrialized nations made (the US,Europe,Japan,etc) was to open their ports to Chinese made goods starting in the 80s and 90s.

The world will come to deeply regret that error...and it won't be long now.

How do you think the world will regret China’s industrial power? In what ways do you see the Chinese using their mercantile powers against the world?
