China By The Numbers.

Uber reporter Tim Johnson over at his perennially superb China Rises Blog has a post up entitled, "China By The Numbers," which consists nearly entirely of a list of interesting numbers from this Independent article highlighting China's rapid change. Both the post and the full article are well worth a read, particularly if you are a numbers geek like me.

What's the deal with The Independent anyway? I don't remember noticing it until a year or so ago and now I am finding all kinds of interesting China and non-China articles in it?
