Re: China's Military Budget: 19th Double-Digit Boost in

This from a country that is 70% with out electricity.

I'm not convinced that your hint at sarcasm has merit Mustangdriver. If we assume that your statement is even remotely accurate (based on your figure of 70%), it still means that approximately 30% do have electricity i.e. nearly 450 million people, which is somewhat more than the current US population of 300 million people in total ...

(I'm not trying to be a smart-ass or being patronising but any comparisons we make should take all variables into account and not be based merely on perceptions.)
 

One sheep to rule them all ...
