主题：【原创】即使没有文革,中国经济也不会提前进入第二世界 -- 葡萄

世界上还没有一个国家，在从农业国过度到工业国家的时候，安静和谐与太平。

America? Canada? Belgium? Holland? Sweden?

Since I lived in all the first 4 nations before, so I read a bit about their history. In terms of labor relation, yes, lots of tension between workers and capitalists. In terms of political turmoil, no. Since transition was carried out under the parliamentary representative system, the political system was not shaken in the fashion of Chinese's Cultural Revolution.

In terms of France--hehe, back in Europe, Frenchmen are well known for emotion and extremism. That's a Latin characteristic, common in the bloody Italian, Spanish and Portuguese histories.

Actually, Chinese are Italian/Frenchmen in Asia, just without their explicit penchant for sex and women.

The Latin Europeans, Germanic Europeans and Nordic Europeans are very different species.

Do not rush to absolute statements.
