Ahem, back to trolling again? Least developed province of Germany matches almost all Chinese provinces (that is after decades of communist rule in eastern Germany). Whats your point? China's PCI is more than 3 times that of India (close to 4 probably). Are you a master of stating obvious or this the limit of intellect you are capable of displaying?
East Germany was far more developed than China.
In 1950 China was poorer than Zimbabwe. In 1980 China was still poorer than the Congo. In 1990 China had just reached the level of Cote D'Ivoire. Yes, I'm not ashamed to admit that China used to be poorer than African dictatorships. But now? If we have anything on the level of Germany, its amazing. The infrastructure of China is really good. Just walk around L.A. and then walk around Shanghai, and you'll see the difference; the paper value truly does not reflect the actual physical value.
