Not so fast. The most populous country and the largest world economy by purchasing power parity is communist China. The physical objects people revere are likely made there or in neighboring communist Vietnam.
- paganel 7y agoChina is basically a Western country now, I mean it runs on the same capitalistic principles as the nominally Western countries, with some extra dystopian elements thrown in the mix.
