Eventually, many people think, the slower moving but much younger India will overhaul China and leave it in the dust.
Still, the point the author makes is that China may eventually destroy its customers through its trade practices and currency indifference . . . . and without broad internal wealth generation, that might be fatal as well.
The world is always an interesting place.

Well its really all conjecture (but fun and entertaining conjecture to me at least!). The fact is that the gender gap in China is miniscule, at less than one percent. It just seems to be much higher because of the enormous numbers that in effect.
Its the same as last week when the Chinese government cracked down on polluting 3000 polluting companies. In Alberta 3000 companies is a lot, over there its a drop in an enormous bucket.
I agree that India might overtake the Chinese, but both are poised to become economic powerhouses. The scariest thing in China (to me) is the piracy and disregard for information protection.
