My opinion is that the rise of China is greatly overrated for two reasons. The first is that I believe that India will pass it sooner than many people believe. The other reason is that if China liberalizes its society, seperatist movements (plural. very plural.) will be able to use democracy to devolve the centralized rule intil "China" is basically no more than the EU of its constituent nations.

Why am I buying what you are saying... No pun intended...
At any rate, many in the northern parts of China that are very rural are extremely poor and are dying due to starvation and poor nutrition. Health stats are coming out left and right about it ever since the Chinese government found out it can get a lot more money for treatment of Avian Flu from the WHO and US than for technology--besides, they will "bootleg" the drugs once they've determined its components...
Avian flu has not been a huge issue yet in India, but it is just a matter of time... And it will hit Bangeldesh and Myramar first regardless of their recovery from the tsunamis and HIV...
However for some reason, I think the US is going psychotic and will stop some of this "outsourcing" business or at least "limit" it to some level. It won't affect the economies of the companies overseas. It will affect the US, though...
