China and other Third World societies cannot 'catch up'. Much of the world’s work has moved to the poor countries, yet – through dominating critical aspects of labour process – a few rich, imperialist countries monopolise the benefits. China and the Third World will remain poor and the vast global social divide is – under the present system – permanent.
