China's days as workhouse of the world could be numbered

[Aramsogo]

My house is 3000 sq/ft on 1/4 acre. That is 1500 sq/ft up and down. The basement is fully finished with a theater room, complete with a ceiling mounted projector and 100 in 16:9 wide screen aspect matte white area on the wall. The basement also have a bedroom, a 3/4 bath, and two storage rooms. Upstairs has three bedrooms, two full baths, a living room, a family room, and of course a kitchen. The garage is enough for two SUVs with an attached small work room where I park my bike. And the house has a central vac system.

Damn inefficient use of space and waste of energy that YOU will jump into in a heartbeat.

Gambit, do you really want to start bragging.

My house in Virginia is 7,000 sq-ft. My home theater is Sim2 with a Schneider cine-digitar anamorphic lens autoscope. My backup projector is made by Meridian with a Panamorph. 16:9 is so 5 years ago.

There is a German word describing my feeling the best after reading this post: fremdschämen

I know the German language is filled with useful words to describe unique situations and feelings.

And why have your fellow Chinese not condemned you yet?

This is an entirely man made/regime made problem. When it suited them to have a one child policy they did it now they are trying to reverse the process which is a gargantuan process. The fact is many Chinese don't want to have more than one child now due to costs and social factors, the damage could very well already be done. And even if the process could be started it would take multiple decades to come to fruition, the question many are asking now is- "will China become old before it becomes rich?"

Depends on how old and how rich.

All these projections assume that Chinese leadership are really dumb and will not adjust policy as needed. But I think it is true that no country can rely on cheap labor forever. As the salary goes up, China will lose those low end manufacturing jobs to other developing countries. So it needs to gradually move up the production chain. Years ago Chinese exports were dominated by texitile products. Nowadays it is less than 5% of Chinese export. Most of Chinese export nowadays are machinaries. All countries need to experience this stage of development before it becomes a servicing based economy. I think India needs to pick up manufacturing instead of laughing at China, for this reason I feel Modi is the right leader.

GOI is already taking right steps

Of course, German is the language of logic and philosophy. Words like Weltschmerz, Zeitgeist, Götterdämmerung but also Sturm und Drang are not for nothing words of high literature value in the world.

But no words to describe the behaviors of the Chinese boys here? How convenient...

I mean...What word(s) available for the current oxymoron in China where the government, in trying to put on a face for the world, scrambled to create GONGOs: Government Organized Non-Governmental Organizations?
