"Contract assembly corporations are already moving to displace labor in China with robots. The U.S. caught up with Britain and surpassed it in the nineteenth century; then another half century of industrialization beckoned. Vast areas are now industrializing, but the old connection with mass prosperity is largely broken. Two or three decades from now, China will likely arrive at the same impasse as the U.S. – an economy in which technology advances but economic, social, and cultural life regresses." Not from the Times article. It is from The Hollow Colossus, p. 78f. Book info at http://www.hollowcolossus.com
