And let me just add........very few Americans understand how quickly China has industrialized. What took the US nearly 100 years, China is doing in 2 decades. It's not too hard for China to industrialize this quickly, given that for the most part, they are following in the footsteps of Japan, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and more recently Korea. What should be remarkable about it is, quite simply, the size of China. Industrializing a nation of one billion people is quite mind-boggling. At least in Japan, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Korea, each nation has a much smaller, more homogeneous population. Can't say the same about China. Yes. And the size and scope of the projects are enormous. In one year, they started construction on a 140 office buildings in the Pudong area of Shanghai which is a new area for development right across the river from downtown Shanghai..........140 buildings! And these aren't low rise buildings.....they are skyscrapers. Then there is the Yangtze river........its being redirected to flow towards the dry north........through the new Three Gorges Dam, the largest in the world: That's why BRIC is such a formidable economic bloc.........not so much Iran and Russia but China and Brazil. The US can not afford to ignore them.
