>then there's no point in me continuing to argue. It's clear you're not arguing in good faith.

>Even as close back as the 70s, Zimbabwe was about as wealthy as South Korea. We were talking about China, not South Korea. South Korea was the ass end of Asia for several hundred years. No one's going to deny that. But that's not what we're talking about.
