You know, criticisms about the "how" aside... "what" China has managed to do is thoroughly impressive. I think that special consideration ought to be paid to how sharp a razor they've been able to balance atop of. On the one hand their development and economic prosperity positively depended on consumer nations...but on the other those nations ability to continue their function as consumer nations was directly affected - in a negative way- by their function as the producer. Bit like riding a wave until it positively collapses. But when do you cut and run, so to speak? Once you do..where do you go from there? I'd really love to see China become a sort of U.S. of the East (economically speaking...and I'm not talking about the current limp-dicked US). I suppose I like to think that there is at least an up and comer as an alternative to where I'm at now, should things go to shit.
