A free market requires two things - commitment and size.A free market also requires freedom. Individual freedom to innovate & create and freedom to enjoy the rewards due to those individuals who take chances.
Until the Chinese people enjoy this kind of freedom China will remain nothing more than the world's assembly line.

When I said commitment I ment commitment to free market. There is some in China. They have 5000 years history without political freedom. In the short run, they'll be happy with what is given to them. If we slow down inovation (monopolization forces due to size) then they'll become a problem. That's my major point.
