Fleetwood posted:Is it uncommon to see wildlife in rural China? I could understand, if so, but the idea seems strange to me. I was in relatively rural China a few years ago, and it was striking how little wildlife we saw. Even birds were almost completely absent. We were on trails several miles outside the Chinese tourist town of Yangshou.

Squalid posted:One thing that's crazy I just noticed looking at economic statistics. Back when this book was first published, India and China had almost identical GDP per capita. As of 2017, China's per capita GDP was more than 4x larger than India's. Dang, why hasn't India been able to achieve the kind of economic success China has? Well, in addition to China's rapid industrialization, part of that is because of China's population control measures (and India's lack thereof). China used to have a significantly larger population than India, now they are about even.
