"Let China sleep, for when she wakes, the world will shake." Napoleon


Yesterday, I learned that there are 80 million Air Conditionning units that are built every year. Out of that, 60 million are made in China... The Chinese have announced that they will start an automotive industry and are already building a Land Cruiser type vehicle. They want to dominate that industry in the next 5 years. After that, they have the same aspirations for the airline industry.


Just think about this: in 1850, China and India represented 40% of the world trade. Today, they account for 6% of the world GDP, but 40% of its population. Napoleon is about to be proven right.
