https://sputniknews.com/society/201610131046296241-china-us-billionaires/

MOSCOW (Sputnik) — The number of billionaires in mainland China exceeds that of their peers in the United States by 59, making China lead with a total of 594 billionaires, according to a 2016 Rich List published by the Hurun Report media group on Thursday.

"Mainland China has 594, down 2 from last year; HK, Taiwan and Macao have 94; and there are 66 others in the world, mainly in SE Asia. This compares with 535 billionaires in the US," Rupert Hoogewerf, the Hurun Report chairman, was quoted as saying in a press release accompanying the Rich List.

The report showed that despite a 20 percent drop in domestic stock markets and slowdown in the economy, 179 new names where added to the Hurun Rich List to lift the number to 2,056 individuals, which is double the number registered three years ago. Beijing is still the city of preference for China's richest followed by Shenzhen and Shanghai.
Hurun Report's rich list is considered to be the most popular and accurate assessment of wealth in China.

So your point ??
China might have more billionaires but chinki girls will still go for white ones .
Chinese guy can become rich but never desirable :pound::pound:
Do Indians always need to be so racist? Chinese being desirable by whites doesn't mean anything other than that. Besides, there are more than enough pretty girls in China to go around.

I do not believe this is anything to be proud of. Disparity is getting worse in China and India, both are developing nation with so much to be done for the not-so-rich citizen.

No it's only happening in China with gini index much higher than US. India's gini is at a good low for a market based developing economy.

And for Nigeria, you have per capita income almost same as that of India but way higher poverty and much lower HDI.

Increasing Billionaires is not a good news. Big pocket controls lot of things.

People can do whatever they want. Govt as a policy will have to comply to WTO norms .

Nope nothing wrong in having billionaires.
What we need is stronger regularity framework to ensure fair play.

Actually if an economy is more competitive it will create parallel business models that will check each other's influence.

Monopolies are born when competition is curtailed.

It is wrong if the benefits don't trickle down to the lower class which is true in the case of India and China to a lesser extent. More regulation is not the answer, India regulated everything in the 60s and 70s and look where it got them. The answer is to raise money from the billionaire class and invest in education/growth of the lower middle class.

Not industrial regulations but fair market regulations like competition commition , rbi , SEBI we need to strengthen them.

All over the world efforts to raise money from billionaires have effectively failed.
These are very smart people protected by laws , rules of corporations.
These policies are the reason why Indian MNC open headquarters in Singapore .

The best way forward is to channel the wealth into investment that promotes efficiency and competition .
Free market with powerful watchdogs is what we need
