Are u kidding me? Obviously, you've never been to China. 100 mil. Chinese today enjoy a standard of living on par with S. Korea. 20 years ago, you couldn't say that. In the next 20 years, you'll see 200-300 mil. with a First World standard of living. Economic development doesn't happen overnight, but it's a process.
