good speech, I think he left a big part out though. He didn't address the fact that the reason china has been lower in gdp than the US for years now, is the communist structure that govt has had. Communism, stifles entreprenuership and more specifically innovation. If the govt dictates that a person can make only X income then incentive to innovate is taken away. Presently, China opening its barriers to entry, seeking capitalist ideals, and pushing toward a more free capitalist approach = Growth
