I care about the absolute level of development, not the change.
The fact that China wasted decades on a failed economic ideology explains why they were so undeveloped up until the 1980's.
If anything, China is simply catching up (in some ways) to developed countries. While certainly admirable, achieving what has already been done in other places isn't that impressive.
