US is 80th, not great but there's really no comparison to Chian. For rich country comparison, UK is 22nd and France is 9th.
- badosu 9y ago> US is 80th, not great but there's really no comparison to Chian. This is true, but one should take into account that US's and most of the developed world economy has shifted into services and intellectual or branding schemes, exporting the dirty job of manufacturing to China. It would be really surprising if that was not the case.
