#1 Doesn't this have to do more with two states who threw off the artificial hindrance of communism, thereby achieving in a shorter burst what they should have had all along? (and with a much smaller body count?)

#2 The past 30 years have seen comparable economic progress in China: since the 1976 death of Mao Zedong

And with great help from the U.S. policy-makers and industry looking for cheap labor and to a large extent at our expense. I also think that somewhere along the line, decisions were made to have our "dirty industries" do their manufacturing somewhere else. Getting away from governmental regulations in the U.S. has also been a factor in having industry move offshore.
