All the industry moved there? And so why hasn't it now moved to the remaining third-world countries?
Not all of it, but a lot of it. My point is that its economy grew as a result.
Industries are moving out of China to cheaper places like Africa and the Philippines. But the real-world economy is not completely frictionless; it takes time for these effects to occur.
