That means 40 times as many per capita. Chinese per capita gdp is about 1/10th that of Mexico's. > Wow, that's MUCH lower. I'd have guessed about quarter. I doubt China has a very good census so we are indeed a rounding error. > I agree, those Chinese have a lot of trouble counting. It's cold, so they wear gloves and shoes so without fingers and toes, get confused when it gets to counting over 20. Plus they do it in Mandarin, so that no doubt makes counting tricky. Not to mention those hutongs are crowded and confusing. tell ya, the Chinese are merchants and capitalists and they'll eat your lunch >
