Default UK versus China, wealth per person

Anyone got any figures?

Just wondering if by the time you subtract debt, how much there is in it?

A couple of decades ago, it would have been a MASSIVE amount in our favour, how does it lie now though?

how long before we start making their socks and watches because our currency is so worthless against theirs that we see role reversal?

I dont think as a country we are actually overdrawn on average yet?

Im sure with the current house values, it MUST be a positive figure by a good margin.

I think it's probably doubled in the last few years, so it will be 1 pence per Chinese person now.

I think the population has probably doubled as well.
