Those countries are catching up quickly, and they have far more human resources at their disposal. At some point, we won't be able to compete any more. They can afford to let half their population be completely underutilized and still have way more people than us.

As for quality of life, China already seems to be doing better in terms of public transport. America doesn't have anything at all to brag about here, unless you're comparing to Zimbabwe or something.

How long until the west starts to immigrate into china instead of the other way around?

It's already happening; there's a lot of American expats living there for work.

It was my honest opinion that this worked against India and China historically. More mouths to feed, more people to educate.

True. It is like Sweden or Norway or Switzerland complaining that they can't compete with America and that it is unfair. It does not matter how much is your population except if you are a politician and want global power.
