#4 Seems to me there is a qualitative difference between a billion people growing rice and spreading night soil, and 0.3 billion making cars, medical tech and practicing industrial-scale agriculture.

Is there any area where China produces a best-of-breed product? Made In Japan used to mean cheap plastic junk, but they evolved into making brand names known world-wide for quality.

#13 Wonder what all that success will do to their carbon emissions and if the greens worldwide or even China themselves care.
