Why is China's economy shifting from the industrial sector to a more service-based sector? There are way less farmers than there are 40 years ago, and a shrinking resource extraction and manufacturing industry.
Why is China's economy shifting from the industrial sector to a more service-based sector...

They are becoming the Germany of Asia (because Japan failed to do so in the 80s due to mutt interference.)

Because they're intelligent.
Camden Long
Isn't that literally the definition of shifting from second world to first world?
David Perez
Lack of agriculture and the ability to feed the own population it the huge problem.
You make yourself dependent on imports and other countries.
Christian Moore
>Lack of agriculture
Less than 2% of mutts work in agriculture currently. We are feeding ourselves just fine. You must be a mutt soldier since a germ would understand how industrialized agriculture works.
Evan Barnes
because they get their primary resources from cuckold anglo free market slave nations like canada and australia.
Austin James
Automation changes everything, user. Only a few decades ago China relied entirely on manual labor and oxen. They were literally poorer than Sub-Saharan Africa in 1949.
>You make yourself dependent on imports and other countries.
This is also true, though. China has been trying to create secure supply routes as they have no safe shipping lanes thanks to the US.
Brandon Brown
Japan has a bigger economy than Germany and China long surpassed us too
William Young
China has like 17 times more people and are buying food all over the globe.
Ayden Thomas
I know this might sound dumb but I don't understand what's with all the fuss about China improving its economy in a fast pace, they have literally 1.5 billion people whereas the rest of the world doesn't even come close.
I don't know why everyone always ignores the elephant of the room. Any country with that huge of a population that was also united and nationalistic would meet the same fate.

It's literally just anglos freaking out that they are losing their dominant position in asia (and thanks to Trump/mutts, the world.)
Justin Watson
rising wages and growing middle class
Michael Gonzalez
Because that's how development looks like
Christopher Mitchell
>Less than 2% of mutts work in agriculture currently. We are feeding ourselves just fine.
Yeah, because you have second largest area of arable land in the world and only 328 million people. China has 52% less arable land than the US and 336% more mouths to feed. They wouldnt be forced to buy 18 billion a year worth of food imports if they could "feed themselves just fine".
Jaxon Garcia
They're automating their industry and have created a consumer middle class that requires huge amounts of service sector jobs to replace it. They're becoming first world.
Chase Stewart
Because the larger the population, the _harder_ it is to develop (one frequent comparison is China vs India, which actually started out wealthier than China in the 1940s). China does it using a socialist market economy approach, which is viewed as authoritarian by the west.
But what people don't realize is that development on this scale is practically impossible without strong central authority controlling all sectors of the economy. The ROC's KMT actually intended to take the same approach as the CCP. There was just no other way.

I always feel weird reading intelligent posts on this website.

The one thing Xi needs to change, create more farmland, industrialized, instead of building empty houses.
Cannot eat concrete...
Andrew Martinez
What's more interesting is that the 2nd largest stretch of arable land is farmed by a relatively very small group of farmers
Asher Hernandez

China produces more food each year, with less people working farms due to automation. Food production rates has increased much more than the population has over the same span of time. It will take another 10 years before agricultural workers go from 8% of the work force to under 4% of the work force (while production rate increases) like other 1st world countries.
Landon Cox
oh you're a wojak poster too, thanks for confirming you are actually a brainlet
Noah Kelly
>instead of building empty houses
Dumb meme. They're built ahead of demand and always fill up.
Brody Wilson
what the fuck are these borders
Ethan Gomez
Typical leftoid, always so mad when they themselves get called out and "cancelled." One day you'll be getting a lot more than that my friend. Just a couple more weeks.
Justin Harris
That isn't even their real purpose. China wants to keep their housing market undervalued
Michael Morris
I can't tell whether or not these posts are ironic anymore and it's fucking with my head.
Joseph Turner
Joseph Sanders
This is an issue thats already been outlined by countless authors and thinktanks. As modernization happens and people are lifted into the middle class, standards of living are raised and so is food consumption. As the Han look for more places to build and more industrial waste to keep the economy running seeps into the land and rivers, the already shrinking arable land is not only getting smaller, but also thinning due to pollution. There is already massive pressure for food security in China and its expected to get worse.
Absolutely, the soil in the US is some of the most fertile in the world. But keeping in mind that the food bowl that is US arable land is complimented by the fact that it occupies the same space as the largest navigable waterway system in the world, the Mississippi basin, which makes both cultivation and transportation for food stuff easier and cheaper, requiring less labor.
Angel Carter
Anglo "think tanks" are literally just propaganda outfits so it impossible to really judge what the future holds for china. I mean they are the same people who put out pic related after all.
Levi Harris
Ian Martin
They really messed this one up, huh
Benjamin Carter
Fuck. It's always weird to think about the fact that America is actually run by satanic pedophile lawyers instead of rational scientists.
Austin Peterson
The western chauvinism throughout the past year is just insane.
