China is a central planning economy. The government takes a top down approach to decide which industries to be developed. The U.S. is more ground up where entrepreneurs figure out the opportunities and eventually drive the direction of the economy.

GBA would have a population of around 70 million, larger than the under UK (66m) or Canada (36m). It will have 3 of world’s top 10 container ports. The area would be the 12th largest economy in the world....
