And then you look at it per capita and find that the Chinese people on a whole are poorer than those from the Dominican Republic.
"Korea has not been the only battle ground since the end of the Second World War. Men have fought and died in Malaya, in Greece, in the Philippines, in Algeria and Cuba, and Cyprus and almost continuously on the Indo-Chinese Peninsula. No nuclear weapons have been fired. No massive nuclear retaliation has been considered appropriate. This is another type of war, new in its intensity, ancient in its origin--war by guerrillas, subversives, insurgents, assassins, war by ambush instead of by combat; by infiltration, instead of aggression, seeking victory by eroding and exhausting the enemy instead of engaging him. It is a form of warfare uniquely adapted to what has been strangely called 'wars of liberation,' to undermine the efforts of new and poor countries to maintain the freedom that they have finally achieved. It preys on economic unrest and ethnic conflicts. It requires in those situations where we must counter it, and these are the kinds of challenges that will be before us in the next decade if freedom is to be saved, a whole new kind of strategy, a wholly different kind of force, and therefore a new and wholly different kind of military training."-President Kennedy's Address at Graduation Exercises of the U.S. Military Academy, 1962

"The reason I'll be released is the same reason you think I'll be convicted. I do rub shoulders with some of the most vile, sadistic men calling themselves leaders today. But some of these men are the enemies of your enemies. And while the biggest arms dealer in the world is your boss - the President of the United States, who ships more merchandise in a day than I do in a year - sometimes it's embarrassing to have his fingerprints on the guns. Sometimes he needs a freelancer like me to supply forces he can't be seen supplying. So. You call me evil, but unfortunately for you, I'm a necessary evil."-Yuri Orlov, Lord of War

"Of all the weapons in the vast soviet arsenal, nothing was more profitable than Avtomat Kalashnikova model of 1947. More commonly known as the AK-47, or Kalashnikov. It's the world's most popular assault rifle. A weapon all fighters love. An elegantly simple 9 pound amalgamation of forged steel and plywood. It doesn't break, jam, or overheat. It'll shoot whether it's covered in mud or filled with sand. It's so easy, even a child can use it; and they do. The Soviets put the gun on a coin. Mozambique put it on their flag. Since the end of the Cold War, the Kalashnikov has become the Russian people's greatest export. After that comes vodka, caviar, and suicidal novelists. One thing is for sure, no one was lining up to buy their cars."-Yuri Orlov, Lord of War

On average, China is very poor especially if you go by nominal gdp per capita....but gdp per capital based on PPP is much higher meaning the bang for the buck is just that much greater in China. In fact, the urban dwellers' (500 million) standard of living is much higher than the Chinese average. Like everything else, we have a huge baggage of farmers who drag down every indicator, which is our main problem and why high growth was needed to create jobs to absorb population migration of the rapid urbanization process, which will likely create a population of the USA in the next 10 years. As urbanization proceeds further and the income parity between urban and rural decreases, our gdp per capita will invariably increase.

I am sure the currency movements of late also helped as the Euro and Rupee both weakened against the dollar. the Yuan stayed flat while the Yen strengthened against the dollar.

Help me do the math... China is ranked 130th richest (poorest) country in the world... Why do the richest country USA needs to borrow money from the 130th poorest country on this planet to sustain the level of living...?
Is like a man in suit borrow money from a man not wearing shoes... so how long do you think it takes before they change cloth with eachother?
