my daughter taught English near Beijing about 15 years ago. She saw two different standards of living. Of course it is such a vast geographic area, one must take that into consideration. But some she met traveling by bicycle on her days off had never owned shoes and walked everywhere, while some in the city had traffic stopped (rerouted?) for their personal convenience when they needed to pick up their children from day care. She also experienced air pollution we have not experienced since the 1960's. But industrial revolutions in both Europe and the United States did ravage the air, land and water sources till we put stricter laws into place. And that would be hard to do just as mass industry was beginning.
Most of our workers are in service except for a few builders of housing and road work. We order almost all of our goods from emerging industry countries such as Vietnam and India...etc.,...
edited to say : we import immigrants from poor countries to work on industrial sized farms to the point I don't think many of our home grown youth can even milk a cow anymore (even here where I live in big farm country).
