Hello my friend @
Chinese-Dragon ,
I can see that you have much pride in China, and the potential that China brings to the table. This is admirable. I like that.
Let me be frank and direct with you, because I respect you. China's growth will continue and we can expect that as the national GDP increases, so will eventually the gdp per capita. However, you have to take into consideration the social, environmental and trickling effect of economic development. What China is experiencing is not relative to China, you see, what it is experiencing is something that most post-industrialized nations have experienced in the past. Japan had experienced this during our Industrial revolution, so did the Germans, the United States, Great Britain etc.
Let me use the United States as a case analysis. The United States is , undoubtedly, an economic and military Hyperpower. Her population is only 305 million, yet her national GDP stands at $17.25 Trillion. Her GDP per capita stands at $54,000. Now we know that there are certain areas in United States that are more developed , per se the Eastern Seaboard states: New York, New Jersey, Virginia, Pennsylvania, the New England Regional States of: Connecticut, New Hamphshire, Rhode Island, Vermont, Maine. The Midwestern States : Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, as well as the Western State of California. These are highly developed states, with high GDP per capita. There are areas in the United States that are under-developed, particularly the southern states. There will be regions of a nation that will lag behind than other more developed regions.
This will be seen also in Mainland China. China is experiencing a urbanization boom, meaning the development is seen in the mega urban centers. Many of the rural communities population are experiencing a population crisis because the younger generation are moving to the cities. This is why, at current trend, the cities in China will develop first. Then, eventually, the areas adjacent to the cities. It will eventually trickle down to the rural communities. But there will be areas in China that will remain underdeveloped, naturally.
Best,
