id say in our lifetimes or maybe our kids/grandkids lifetimes, you will see china get technology and since they have sooo many damn people, another communist/socialist idealogue of a revolt will occur.
if you have every heard of club car, a company of ingersolrand, my dad and some people from sarasota, fl and others from texas started it.. well a senior manager just left the company because they are building an assembly and technology plan over in china. he said the last thing he would do is support the commy gov't and give them technology so they can revolt. i understand his point because the chinese are like mongols and arent as civilized as the japanese and not even as civilized as the koreans and vietnamese.
