Look What you see there is something we've never seen before.
No more manual labor. I don't even know how much this changes the economy. Labor unions will lose their deathgrip on manufacturing. New medical information. Science. And of course, china loses it's greatest advantage, It's cheap labor. Even now, stuff like Google has left china due to blatant IP theft (Intellectual Property). We could have a revolution like the Internet or Steam engine. Heck, it could be something as epic as the invention of sliced bread. -------------------- |

The best part is, china's own Intellectual property seems rather low-end. They're not really innvators as much as they copy other tech.
It's going to change, but the change is something on the scale of the industrial revolution. It's not something easy to do, it'll take some time, and by then, they'll be left behind. What i'm really afraid of is the fallout of their collapse. -------------------- |

It's quite funny how times change, for thousands of years technology shifted from the east to the west. One of the primary reasons that Chinese innovation was stifled was thanks to Western incursion in the 18th and 19th century.It's going to change, but the change is something on the scale of the industrial revolution. It's not something easy to do, it'll take some time, and by then, they'll be left behind. What i'm really afraid of is the fallout of their collapse. As I've mentioned in another post elsewhere – as China continues to industrialise, they will continue to move towards through the same process that South Korea, Taiwan and Japan went through towards a middle-class society that relies on industry rather than purely on agriculture. Eventually after that they will be moving towards research and development, which they are already doing in certain areas such as solar energy. I wouldn't be worried about the collapse of China – the continuing collapse of the US is a far greater, and far more worrying threat. -------------------- |
