the funniest being demographic-driven drivel - not enough girlz for each boy - old before rich ignoring the truth that there had always been and always would be two china, rural / inland, urban / coastal, and that only one china needs to do well in order to save the world, that china being 500 million middle class, young, educated, and very driven; the second china shall simply back up and backstop the first china per traditional values and as just another albeit older market place. as to girlz, they are aggregating on china from the periphery nations, and from the second china. just a note, there is a third china that is reaching going to the world and fourth china that had been out there for 600 years / several months.

Like long-lived marriages, a society's resilience is determined not by the good times, but how it handles adversity. TeamUSA has weathered numerous wars, economic depression/recessions, political assassinations, racial upheaval, and major socioeconomic change and has not yet imploded. Perhaps this time is different...perhaps not. Team China certainly has a glorious start, but all of the various opinions of its future are meaningless. Only time will judge its resilience in the face of certain adversities.

ElM, a country is primarily a community of interest. < China will become the world's largest economy by 2050, according to HSBC. > Communities of interest spread way past national borders these days. People mix it up genetically, they trade and establish companies across borders, they move around the world. National borders are a pale imitation of the way they were. Toyota is a Japanese company, sort of, but they have huge production in the USA, hordes of USA and other employees, shareholders from around the world. They are only in a minor way a Japanese company. The world's largest economy should include Cyberspace as a competitor. While servers are located inside countries and so is much of the other material object parts, plenty of it is just esoteric pixelated bits and pieces of data which doesn't really reside anywhere. It would be interesting to see how Cyberspace is going in the "World's Biggest Economy" competition. It must be much bigger already than swarms of small countries and bigger than quite a few big ones too. It's growing like crazy while GDP of the crusty old nationalists is not. Growing crops and digging gold is so last century. When gold turns back into just a boring old corrosion resistant metal, people will lose interest again. Make sure you bail out in time. There won't be an official bell when it's time to sell it to a greater fool. Mqurice
