Statistics: Always insightful

Time magazine does an excellent job with numbers. In the article "China counts...and counts", they compare US and China. The following are some of the numbers


StatisticChinaUS
GDP$2.7 trillion ($2,054 per person)$13.2 trillion ($43,950 per person)
Private Cars11.5 million (9 per 1000 people)136.4 million (450 per 1000 people)

I don't know what the corresponding figures for India are. Though, one can easily conclude that the developing countries have a lot of catching-up left to do.

While we are on the topic, he is another one from the same issue of Time
  • 85.5: Years of life expectancy for Japanese women in 2005

  • 33.2: Years of life expectancy for women in Swaziland, where the HIV infection rate is nearly 40% and life spans are the lowest on earth
