A Chinese friend of mine said it best to my question 'I don't get China do they communism or capitalism?', his answer: 'In the cities there is capitalism and on the countryside, well ... nobody cares about them'

I watched something like 2 hours documentary on China last night, you're right, the rural areas are really poor, they showed some scenes that you expect to see only in Africa, like people walking miles to get fresh water etc
But overall the economy is growing rapidly, in some areas the industry is 90% privately owned, and whoever thinks that China is not going to be a major player in the next few decades simply doesn't have a clue...
