Where do you place China yourself development wise today?
- ClumsyPilot 6y agoWhat does that actually mean as a questio ? Like what is the range of possible answera, is it answered with a year, or something else?
- drilldrive 6y agoI mean do you see China becoming the next world power? I do myself, though not nearly as long as a reign as America had, I foresee a 15 year thereabout hold from China until the country falls into the typical issues that the Western world has faced + Japan faced since the 90's.
- whimsicalism 6y ago> I mean do you see China becoming the next world power I don't see there being a next clear world power because I don't think the world works that way anymore.. capital is way too trans-national at this point.
- throwaway1777 6y agoChina is a split society. Many are still in poverty, per capita gdp is very low. However it’s a huge country and several hundred million now have western standard of living.
- whimsicalism 6y agoThis is definitely true, although it is worth noting that many of those in rural poverty have also seen huge improvements to their condition (number making under $2 PPP/hr has gone from 700 million to 2 million in a matter of 2 decades) and many of the cities in traditionally rural provinces are booming.
