imo, the only way that the US could try is innovation in order to come up with new products that would suit the China/India markets, or compete against their products through technology or patent or branding or trade-secret. Very heavy investments would be needed.

I don't understand the Chinese local governments would not care or check their environment for air quality and water quality. They should have water treatment process for their production plants. That should be part of production costs, unavoidable by law. Besides, that can be a huge...

AFAIK, Chinese invest in overseas in farmlands would be probably because they can get better returns due to water supply and cheat labour/land, relatively. All the water/labour/land in China nowadays are no longer cheap for farming anymore. Yes, they do have water quality and land pollution...

China's nominal GDP trend from 1952 to 2005. Note the rapid increase since reform in the late 1970s. Development trends of Chinese and Indian GDP (1950–2010)

Looking backwards to dreaming those good old golden days while maintaining the same conservative religious faiths channeling a savior national CEO would help probably little. Objectively working on econometric models in making sharp unconventional decisions, whether with drastic changes or...

Based on recent trend, it looks like a national-based capitalism makes a nation (like China) strong and stronger in long run. The nation owns all the leasehold lands, receiving each lease per every say 50-year cycle. Citizens of next generation would have to work hard for renewal of a new lease...
