Well that is one way to control your massive overcrowding. Pollute the air and it will eventually kill off everyone.

China really isn’t that far behind man. They’re scheduled to overtake our GDP in less than 20 years I believe. Their government cheats a lot when it comes to trade and economics which is really helping them pull ahead economically.

The Chinese bought more Cadillacs and Buicks than Americans did last year.
