Chris Anderson: The New Sensationalist. IMO, this is a weak sensationalist comparison to compare Mexico, to a emerging superpower of China. The title should be "Mexico: Learning from China's Success"
- jvm 14y ago> "Mexico: Learning from China's Success" This stuff always drives me a little nuts. GDP per capita (PPP) (Wikipedia) Mexico: $15,177 China: $9,146 HDI (Wikipedia) Mexico: .77 China: .66 Percent living on $2 / day (PPP) http://data.worldbank.org/indicator/SI.POV.2DAY http://data.worldbank.org/indicator/SI.POV.2DAY Mexico: 5.2% China: 28.8% A quick scan of the quality of life facts would suggest that China has more to learn from Mexico than vice versa. Perhaps China will escape the middle income trap, but it hasn't done so yet, and remains considerably poorer than Mexico.
- TechNewb 14y agoI don't know much about Mexico or China, I was merely trying to point out that Anderson has a history of sensational controversial headlines, in Wired, and now post Wired. Mexico and China are both curious countries to study. I have not been to Mexico, but China is developing extremely quickly.
- huherto 14y agoChina is relevant because it is huge. Mexico is not huge but it is big, has a growing middle class and it is close from the US.
