Wrong statement. Real estate bubble is bursting. PMI is dropping to near 50. China is generating 9% of world GDP with 20% of population.50% of GDP is based on investment, as opposed to consumption... This is not a sustainable economy.
Is China winning?
Do be naive. Everyone hopes China can become a power. Right now, China is just a contract manfacturer, assembling products designed by people like us.
" 作者:华山 留言时间:2011-11-03 07:59:42 PH 真敢牛,神八和天宫对接也是“designed by U”?"
神八和天宫 are NOT commercial products. They have been done before by Russia 30 years ago. They are not innvovative any more. That is why I am not interested in such programs.
It is interesting to see Chian has been following the trace of Russian space program. I guess Russian engineers helped China a lot. Can China do anything Russians canot not do?
