Da Economist:

ASK what has been the most stunning economic event of the past century, and many people might cite the case of China in the two decades since it opened up. In that time the economy has grown more than fivefold, incomes have quadrupled, and 270m Chinese have been lifted out of absolute poverty. Yet with a couple more decades? hindsight, that achievement might be superseded?by what may now be about to happen in the world?s most populous country.
