Talk:People's Republic of China

From the article:
 * "Following the economic reforms of Deng Xiaoping the economy of the People's Republic of China grew rapidly and China became a major manufacturer and exporter, amassing massive earnings which are in excess of the ability of the Chinese economy to absorb in its current state of development." It also grew rapidly, if unevenly, under Mao. As for earnings being "in excess of the ability of the economy to absorb", this is purely a matter of policy. You could distribute the foreign exchange earnings to the population so they could buy gold Swiss watches with it. It's no problem to buy things. - Tribal (talk)
