China as 'single point of production'. The world is too small for China. Internal economy booming, the export business can supply the whole planet consuming like there is no tomorrow.

As result, nothing is left for the rest of the world to produce economically. The whole world can stop its manufacturing and the Chinese could produce everything the world needs.

Only countries that complement that 'single point of production', could be doing business...

When China finds idle capacity it kick start activities to keep people working anf factories humming along.

Fixed telephone lines take up rate are dropping in the rest of the world, as they cut the cord-while in China is growing. This points to China building only to avoid idleness.

Africa and LATAM, and other materials and food producing countries, as farm and mine of China can keep doing business.

Europe, Japan and US cannot produce to fund the standard of living their are accostumed to.

Outsource the imprisonment and execution to India or China, with body part sales to help defray costs. <

<Lot cheaper just to kill violent offenders...>

Legal experts and trial attorneys agree that most people outside the legal community don’t realize the high cost of the death penalty.
...Gray County spent nearly $1 million seeking the death penalty against Levi King, who pleaded guilty... ...These costs do not include the cost of appeals, which can more than double the cost... ...The average cost to house an inmate in Texas prisons is $47.50 per day, said Michelle Lyons, spokeswoman for the Texas Department of Criminal Justice.
That means it costs more than $17,000 to house an inmate for a year and $693,500 for 40 years.

The result would be India and China bidding against each other to keep people prisoner and to execute them. Criminals would become actually profitable. Unfortunately that profit centre would soon dry up because the people volunteering to be violent criminals would choose other occupations.

Indians live on less than $17,000 per year so I'm sure they could keep people in cages for less than that.
