Years from now, when historians study this period of “growth” in China they’ll realize that it’s more or less a Great Leap BACKWARD part 2. Seems like they have learned nothing from that disastrous great leap forward in the ’50s that essentially set the country back to the confucius era.[/quote]
Well, they are just going through their industrial revolution except multiplied by 130 (UK at the time of industrial revolution had 10 million people, China is 130 times greater in population). Give them another couple more decades and they’ll actually care about blue skies and clean water enough to force the government to make real changes. After that happens they’ll have people go around saying stuff like FxCK YOU to government standards.
