They went from a closed backward middle-age society that was totally crushed after WWII to a big economic player in less than 50 years. A way the western world needed centuries to walk they did in less than a half with their kamikaze morale.<br />Just to point the drive of the eastern people.

Economics are suffering a crisis actually and it can not live longer the way it did in the 20th century. China might be cheap and poor, but what these guys have is a long lasting tradition and something that us western guys miss more and more: Diligence because of confusian tradition.<br />However what buggs me more than fear of China taking over world economics is the environment damage they do. While we slowly learn to care for our environment, China doesn't give a damn (even when they tell different).<br />Furthermore, Soviet Russia was no economic compeditor but a military one. They had a complete different idea of economics (and their idea failed) and been driven not by money but by ideology to become the no.1 leader.<br />China is different, they are like ants that work for their society not for personal earnings.mindphhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12322750157014130547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4864290051957724877.post-87776882132027832982011-05-05T00:31:38.210-07:002011-05-05T00:31:38.210-07:00My first blog post was about this.
