Default Re: Don\'t overlook the \"global\" picture

olivert,

The Chinese economy, while growing fast, is barely larger than Italy, France or UK's economy. It's about one sixth of the U.S GDP. You need to focus on the absolute buying power, not the number of dirt poor peasants still manually farming small plots in the country side. You don't hear the WPT trying to win the "Battle for Italy" do you?

China may someday be very important in the poker world, but it's many years away. Meanwhile the WPT is doing everything they can to be less relevant in a group of countries that represent about ten times China's buying power.
