Imagine a place with nearly seven times more land than Britain, oil reserves as
big as Iraq’s and more coal than Germany. It produces one-fifth of the world’s
cotton. Yet this place is poor. Its income per person is about the same as
Botswana’s. And it is a time bomb. Its people mostly belong to two ethnic
groups of similar size. One group has all the power and most of the wealth.
Many of the other rot in a gulag, enduring compulsory “re-education” in how to
think and speak like the richer lot.
