Really, you post this drivel? Tyler Durden the author of this column is a character from Fight Club. As for it's information, while there is growth in China's economy it is benefiting very few. He has no sources or an basis for the info he reports in the article. China's inflation is just as bad or worse than the US. Most of the hotels and restaurants are empty or empty shells, same for most of the buildings. The auto industry is just as bad in China just cheap copies of foreign produced cars.
