| #6 ...actual product in their product... I'm still aghast at the cardboard-filled dumplings. I ran into my girlfriend who just moved back from Beijing in the grocery store yesterday. She's been back two weeks now, and is still overwhelmed walking through the grocery store. |

| #5 Yep, no worries on ANY of the above items, and yet they still manage to pay only $15/day! Quite the nirvana, I'd say! |

| #3 One of the reasons that China is roaring ahead like they are is that they are considered an emerging economy. As such, they are exempt from any restrictions imposed by the Kyoto treaty. That, plus they don't have to worry about environmental damage in general, safety rules, etc. |

| #2 Nevermind. Wiki is your friend, and here's what I found: * California alone (2004 data) = $1.543 trillion * Japan GDP (2006 estimate) = $4.22 trillion |

| #1 Next stop...Japan! I noticed that the reporter told of China's 2006 estimated GDP ($2.79 trillion), but nery a mention of Japan's or the U.S.'s (which are the top 2 in the world). I know a few years ago, the number of $12 trillion was thrown about for the U.S., but I don't know anything about Japan's GDP. And, not to forget the Terminator, but does anyone know California's GDP (I know in recent history, it was the world's 5th/6th largest economy by itself)? |
