That's good to point out, but China is consciously adopting a Western legal and economic system (with some notable modifications) on which to run its society. If they do it successfully, the larger amount of people should give the country a greater amount of productivity than the US.
- gaius 16y agoThat's a very fine balancing act. Everything is magnified. What if 10% unemployment in the US economy at an equivalent tech level translates to 60% in China? Perhaps the Chinese will choose to keep productivity at a controlled level to prevent social unrest.
