But isn the Chinese economy based on cheap manufacturing and textile jobs, stolen from western countries?
well, any serious economist will laugh if you talk about "stealing" jobs. how many taiwanese computer programmers and bioengineers have we "stolen" from taiwan?

regarding your view of the chinese economy, it's about 10-15 years outdated. the chinese have been making slow but steady inroads into the information economy and high-skill level manufacturing.
