Thanks Bryan!

I believe so, yes. At least for Asia in general it will sustain this GDP per capita growth for some time. I haven't finished the analysis for countries yet-this should be Part IIIb-but I believe that China will follow the same pattern. I am not so sure about India though. It doesn't have the same growth as China, in terms of GDP per capita, so, I would wait first for some structural changes to be made to the country before it catches up and perhaps even challenges China's leading position in Asia
