How ridiculous and bigoted on every front.
China values 'hard work' and 'intelligence'? It would seem you could also say they value oppression, poverty, pollution and copying everything. But that wouldn't be fair.
Some places in China have done well in infrastructure, as has most of S Korea, but there are two primary differences:
A) China / Korean built up their infrastructure nearly from scratch in the modern era. Totalitarian or near totalitarian governments actually can do well when their are obvious investments to make.
B) Their populations are closer. This is a big one for transport, in particular.
China is what China is, and I see it being a little bit more than that for 2 more decades, but the only long term difference will come as they bring more people out of poverty = more consumers. By that time, they will have their own demographic problems.
I believe that most of the geopolitical shift has already happened.
The 'next 50 years' will be driven not by China, so much as 3 billion people in other places, currently living on $2 a day, coming into living on $50 a day. That will be huge, and more spread out.
Hopefully, it comes without too much tension.
I'll bet in 50 years the 'leaders' in various fields will generally still be the leaders in those fields, for the most part.
