Europe can't do business differently. Or at least it doesn't seem to be able to. China can.

Last I checked millions of europeans are living in a functioning civilization. I've lived in Europe. It is ok.

Don't confuse "GDP not as big as ours" with "totally non-functional."

I didn't say it was totally nonfunctional, I said they can't do business differently than they are currently doing.
