China's Economy May Now be the World's Largest, But It's Still Not the Richest

12/07/2014 5:58 AM

China's economy may now be the world's largest, but it's still not the richest.It looks like a contradictory statement. What does it mean?

Until there are chinese that cook buns with cardboard filling, they could not be considered the richest. But their government is sure has alot of power and capacities nowadays.

Consider 2 men, one with 2 kids and other with 8 kids. Man with 2 kids earn $16300 and other $16500. So income per child is $8150 & $2062. So who is richer?.
