Also, what is this thread doing in Business & Economics?Look at the original post. Perhaps Cyco assumed that our thoughts about China would be oriented toward its emergence as an economic power.I am from CHINA,I wonder what people here know about CHINA?

Every top lab in biology is hiring more and more chinese researchers, because they are willing to work long and hard and do not complain.

And the play the game better. i had a chinese colleague whose sole purpose was backstabbing and self-interest leading to her dominating the resources of the lab, withholding data and material, and stealing other people's ideas.

We are just too nice. Apparently you can't be that in china with 1.3 billion other chinese.

That said, in the next lab I went I actually met a nice chinese guy.

disapearing mineworkers
polution of rivers killing lokal fish and gods (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_River_Dolphin)
polution of mayor city's water suplies (same thing but it's a 2 pointer)
The lack of drivers license (well until 2003 but the situation is still grave)
The rich and mighty chinees man sees himself as a god and therefore is uterly incompetent

Estimate of GDP (PPP) of United States in 2005: $12,277,583,000,000

Estimate of GDP (PPP) of China in 2005: $9,412,361,000,000

Current US GDP growth rate: 3.2%

Current Chinese GDP growth rate: 10.2%

Therefore, which year will China's GDP (in purchasing power parity terms) overtake the US GDP, if present conditions continue? Sometime in mid to late 2010 :) :) :)

(These numbers are by the IMF. If we use the World Bank numbers, it will probably take until 2011 or 2012. If we use the CIA numbers, then it should be sometimes in early 2010).
