User blog comment:Imperium Guy/Is China developing or Developed?/@comment-1589986-20111108035140

Developing. Only very recently has China moved into the service sector. Industry still dominates the economy. If you decapitated Guangzhou, Beijing, Shanghai, Tianjin, Qingdao, Nanjing, Xi'an, Chengdu, Hong Kong (the list goes on), then each city could be developed, but as a whole, China is still developing. Even though most Chinese now live in cities or towns, most still work in industry.
