JCP, > Maybe they'll achieve a better mix with a more socially equitable result than we have. Don't kid yourself. China is growing by leaps and bounds because (a) they're starting from a pretty low position relative to their size, and (b) they're following in the footsteps of other Asian nations who have figured out the benefits of capitalism long before.
