[Peace-discuss] A sanguine view of what China expects to achieve

[David Green]

It's important to note that according to one credible data set, China in
1969 had a per capita GDP (in 2010 dollars) of $193, almost the lowest in
the world, except for Cambodia, Mozambique, and Djibouti (the latter $17
!!). By 2014, their per capita GDP (again 2010 dollars) was $6,000, a
multiple of about 30 (that is, doubling almost 5 times) over 45 years.
Nothing else like it, obviously in terms of rapid development, although S.
Korea & Taiwan grew by multiples of 10 to over $20,000. I assume that the
cultural revolution had something to do with the low baseline in 1969,
nevertheless...
