Why the Comparison Between Chinese and Russian Investment Levels Is Useless
Russia’s level of investment is, and has been for the past decade, far closer to the levels of developed, wealthy countries than to China‘s. I don’t find this to be particularly alarming or surprising for three reasons. First, because Russian investment collapsed so catastrophically during the 1990′s the current levels are actually an improvement: as you can see from that chart, Russian investment has substantially increased from the depths it reached in 1999 and has done so during a time that overall GDP has grown dramatically (the actual expenditures on investment have thus exploded).
