I don't get it.
The scary part is that China is still in their infancy as a consumer nation. When their entire infrastructure is complete and they are in a position to start supplying themselves with products it can only get worse.

No question, that the US faced similar issues in places like Pittsburgh, Gary, Detroit..but the scale in China is so large that I can't imagine how they will be able to fix everything that's broken over there.
