China's entire economy is based on not consuming, and instead exporting everything. I'm not an economist of any sort, but it almost seems to me that their economy is going to need an overhaul, starting with their philosophy. Once the nation gets rich enough, people are going to want to start consuming the way Western nations, or Japan, or S. Korea, etc., do. Hard to do that when your entire economy is based around poor, cheap-ass labour that sends everything it makes to other countries.
