The larger point still stands. China needs a high rate of grow just to be able to catch up and afford things taken for granted in the developed world. In an example related to the parent, China's cold chains while rapidly improving are well behind what would be acceptable in the developed world: > While between 85 percent and 100 percent of fruit and vegetables sold in the U.S. are transported in refrigerated conditions, in China, only 20 percent of those perishables are shipped in such a manner, resulting in a high spoilage rate of up to 40 percent. In the U.S., that rate is closer to 5 percent. http://www.livingstonintl.com/freight-transportation-updates/chinas-need-for-cold-chain-improvement/ http://www.livingstonintl.com/freight-transportation-updates...
