@ElinorRennie@lunar_mining There is also the fact that China has been in turmoil because of the war. But after the turmoil was resolved, it took China only 40 years to rise from the 20th place in the world to the second place in the world in terms of economic strength.
@ElinorRennie@lunar_mining And the West is only 200 years ahead of the East, while China was the strongest country in the world for 2000 years. Give China another 30 years and you will see a different world.
