Why would it be good news to anyone? Oh I see, you're just looking to argue. How productive.

China moves up. Good for them. I mean it.
Hmm...I see that the country that mostly the right bashes is always in the top 10. Take a guess? Canada. It is evident that there is something Canada is doing right. Every list I see, they are above the United States and usually in top 10. Maybe we should look to our neighbors and see what is going on instead of screaming "SOCIALISM" every second at them.
