There’s a good article here talking about how JP Morgan thinks China has a huge labor problem. The article is worth reading, but a chart says a thousand words, so here it is:
Clearly labour costs are rising greatly. But is it a problem? That depends. It’s not like Chinese wages were high to begin with: if you are a Chinese worker, this is not a “problem” at all, at least in the short term. In the longer term, though, it will create some interesting dynamics both in China and outside when it comes to labour and capital worldwide.

I think the outcome of this will be a similar standard of living worldwide after China and India both become developed nations. I think US and Canada are on their way to joining Europe as post-industrial nations.
I think you may be right. But I also think Africa is going to be coming up on the heels of China in the 21st century.
