perhaps it is true that the 3rd world factory countries like china cannot keep counting on the "great big hungry maw of the us to keep gobbling up your products" -- but that doesn't necessarily make it true that other countries will "pick up the slack."

just because china has 4 times the population doesn't make them anything but exceedingly well populated.

consumer spending is not necessarily linked to rising populations.

for example, in the mid 90s, india had a consumer middle class of 250 million. 15 years later that number is the same.

as an american owning property on the west coast, i am far more concerned about china's middle class drying up and fleeing.
