Yeah, you know, rational players in the market.It's likely that the 300 million "middle class" Chinese are part of a population of 1.4 to 1.5 billion people. They're largely agrarian, 3rd-world poor, and lead nasty, brutish and short lives. Between 5 and 10 people die in Chinese coal mining accidents every day, for example.
