I'd also say the Chinese government may not be as firmly in control of its expanding economy as one might assume . . . . its like a freight train speeding along and hoping there's a bridge over the next canyon.
Watch the social aspect of China though . . . . the country might fracture under its weight.

You've mentioned a very real problem, how these countries will adapt to change and industrialization.
Will they go the way of Britian where the government enacts economic reforms as well as political ones to combat the ideas of Liberalism in effect pacifying the people? Or will they collaspe under their own weight and go a much more terrible route like that of France circa Napolean.
