FT.com / World - Emerging-market cities climb world rankings

Shanghai ranked one of the best cities in the world for global commerce:

"Shanghai jumped into the top 25 in this year’s index, joining seven other Asian cities in this group with an eight-position jump that was the most of any city in the index. Among the world’s most populous and fastest-growing cities, Shanghai’s position in the index was bolstered by its economic stability, its legal and political framework, an increased quality of life and China’s booming economy."

China and the Development Myth - D.W. MacKenzie - Mises Institute

Is China's economic success a result of the government's close management of market activity? Or is China's economic success actually a myth in itself? As the author says "While it had been thought that 100 million Chinese live on less than one dollar per day, there are actually 300 million Chinese living on less than one dollar per day."

The author refutes claims that close government regulation creates higher, more long term growth, claiming that "We can see the strength of the case for economic freedom even more clearly through proper economic theorizing. Free-market economists like Friedrich Hayek and Ludwig von Mises arrived at the proper conclusions regarding socialism and interventionism long before the evidence on modern state planning was in."

China has made its first steps towards competing with the giants of the jumbo jet industry, Airbus and Boeing.

China | Angry China | Economist.com

What's got the Chinese populace so enraged, and what does it mean for the Communist government? Interestingly, Chinese rage runs deeper than the backlash on the Tibet issue and the West's reception of the torch relay, and extends deep into the economic and environmental issues still plaguing the country's urban and rural populations alike
