Mainland China today has a population of 1,6 billion people, it has the 2nd largest army on earth, just behind the Russian one. it got one of the 10 most developed cities in asian (Hong Kong, since 1997). And is still so dissapointing, it's GDP is at the same level as Algeria, and China is often called as "The Morroco of asia". We could also go for the fact that it remains a totalitarian one party state and some people even consider that got worse after Mao died and the Gang of Four took over, but can everything be blamed on the government? I really want to know more about this.
