China has an mixed economy just like most Western nation (I mean who really practices the true free market?), and it no longer depends on FDI for economic investments as it did in the 90s. In-fact, China it's self provides FDI for many developing nations. China's political system will naturally changes once GDP per Capita rises enough... as an middle class will emerge which will demand more freedom. The world will not be dominated by people of the Anglo-Saxon stock.

China would have to move away from an export based economy to an domestic/service based economy. Nevertheless, we saw the effects of the PRC's industrial might.

I'm a postgrad economist at Cambridge.. why would I be naive?

Yes academics are always right. Cambridge has gone down in my eyes. Corporations have a strong hold on university education. Carry on. Best of luck with debt.

Intelligence does not exist.

But if it did, IQ would be a terrible, terrible measure of it.

If the Chinese are doing this, it shows the triumph of western philosophy over eastern philosophy.

Cambridge is not the only university good for economics. We're forgetting LSE, and a lot of other universities.

I dislike esoteric concepts and establishments.

Exactly. Intelligence is what? Grinding to learn a text-book? Getting a book to show you how to develop technique and to think more intelligently? Luck and intuition developed by experience?

It's accessible to everyone. Don't let anyone ever tell you otherwise.

+ Chinese students , or the culture in china -from what i heard- is very academic focused, vigilant ect. Same with Indians,and pakistani's.

I agree, all this would do is kill off innovation and scientific and Economic/Political spekistism which is important for an advance society. Nevertheless, Chinese students are surpassing western students.

It's called Confucius .. search it on the internet and you will understand why nations like Korea, Japan and soon China became Economic powerhouses.

Indians, East Asians and West Africans excel in the field of academic progress in the west.

Totally misleading; more screening, less engineering. Because IQ is a determinant of success in life.
Thought still pretty interesting, I love how China is simply careering towards technological progress without so much regards for, as Miller says, "ideological bias". Sigh, why can't we have this same drive and focus towards progress over here? Oh ye that's right, we're not a dictatorship!

Given China's questionable politics I wonder if they would only allow those living in cities the choice to screen their eggs for the most prodigal offspring Wouldn't want your laborers in the countryside getting too smart...

I don't think anyone cares about how an Aston undergraduate thinks that 'Cambridge has gone down'. I'm not in debt, anyway.

He's at Aston, in his third year. I'm saying that he's in a poor position to comment on how naive postgraduate economists at world-leading institutions are. I'm not forgetting LSE!

Dont let the fact that youre at Cambridge cloud your ass. Just saying..

I just feel you need to have a bit more humility. It's not the man that says the argument, but what the argument is. There are differences of opinion. If i went to my shed in the garden to learn, and i gave a good argument read from a book and well sourced, and i felt yours was not , and gave good reasons, you would be obliged to attack my argument, and not degrade my institution.

Aston is decent from what i have heard.

Not much people give an damn about politics in China. East Asians were always less political compared to westerners just look at democratic Japan, where the same party (LDP) was in power for 50 years. People in that part of the world wants progress.
