    2. I personally agree with the afirmation the China like a paradise. China is the best example of progress for countries like ours in Latin America. Its richness let us to think that we have to be prepared to compete with the rest of the world.
      I believe China's success is a fact that involves to all of the rest of countries in the world. I think the most important this about this is to take advantage of its success and try to get benefits. For example with international negociations and also learning about its excellent technology and innovatives. Maybe we just have to follow its trends like an inspiration.

      I agree with you, I think that the entrepreneurs look for create your business in this country; they have great profits with the technological advances and human resources. The Chinese have a good vision for the business and the government given opportunities for business people and it invests in R&D. For this reason for my China's economy is becoming a world power.

    In the last years we've seen countries like China raising up in economy but EU is not doing the same. The crisis has affected so fiercely to this group of countries and they are starting to look like a joke in economic progress.

    1. I agree with the statement that the U.S and the European Union are no longer the strongest economies in the world, we can see that during the last years our country and has not taken the U.S. as the leading trading partner related to exports and it is opening to other markets such as China, Caribbean countries, Brazil among others

    2. Dear Paola,

      I don´t agree with you. If you are talking about the European Union you have to think in all the countries, specially focus on Germany, France and UK like the most importan countries in the EU. It could be obviously that they dont have the same growth like China but it´s just because they are helping to countries like Greece and Spain to go out to the crisis and once they have rescue those countries, be prepare for a great raising up in economy specially in Germany. Finally I want to tell you, dot judge too fast and have a nice day.

    3. Dear Paola,

      I think that crisis in Eurpean Union is product of a bad administration of resources in this group of countries. The growth of China is that use a strategy of mass production and your increase sales due to this reazon.

    This consists in its ability to attract the best talent from other countries because in U. S anyone can be an American in contrast to other countries that do not have this advantage to attract people

    1. I agree with you up to a point. EEUU attracts the greatest talent because its economy facilitates development of the people. While people in other countries can not develop their business ideas or improve their level of education.

    1. Dear Gaby,

      I agree with you, because China is having a big development in the last years. However I think we have to consider too the amount of people that live in China and also the cost of living there. Maybe properties, cars and clothes are very cheap in that country, so many people can buy them. It does not mean they are rich; it just means that they have high incomes and the expenses are low.

      I think it would be good to analyze that economy a little bit more.

      Nice talking with you!

    1. Dear Fer,

      I totally agree with the points that you are mentioning. Years ago everything about China, not only movies, was hardly accepted around the world. Nowadays it has changed. Of course, it traduces in a better way of life for Chinese people. I think that if they continue making things like that and constantly improving, China is going to be next world’s first economy.

    3. Dear Vale,

      I totally agree with the points that you say. Because I've noticed that China has advanced much in the last years. So China has improved both in technological innovation and in human capital. In this way if China continues thus, soon become the economic powerhouse of the world, displacing so to the U.S.

    4. Dear Vale,

      I totally agree with the points that you mention. China has been developing little by little since years ago. But, nowadays China has grown by leaps and bounds. Also, I think the most significant thing is to learn from others, and China does it to do better its activities. Besides, Chinese are more accepted by the media and the society today that years ago. So, its economy is better day by day thanks to its greatest entrepreneurs who move the country and allow China can be the next economic powerhouse of the world.

  8. Europe is out of the map

    Europe is far to be the most competitive and dynamic knowledge-driven economy. The crisis has increased the number of poor people there. Definitely, Europe has to make a huge effort if it wants to be in the map again.

    1. Dear Andrea:

      I basically agree with the points that you mentioning. The European Union has had a strong economic crisis in the last years and it is increasing the number of poor people, but it´s important to note that not all countries have been affected. For example UK and Germany are strong countries and their economies are very good, however Spain and Greek suffer the effects of the crisis and their economies are bad. The European Union binds a great variety of countries and only a few ones have the resources to overcome the crisis.

  11. What happened to the European Union?

    The European Union has failed to make a competitive and dynamic economy as planned in 2000. This union hasn´t developed scientific research; therefore United States, China and India have become the three most important countries for pharmaceutical industry.

      Personally I think that although it is true that the United States is an innovative economy and attracts the brightest people in the world, but this economy can not become the leading power in the world because will need many more tools for them to do, so to succeed, it will take some time before this can be considered the world's largest economy
