As for your China argument.... you are right... it has a big economy.

Maybe its the exception to the rule? (I can pull all sorts of other criteria out of my a$$... it doesnt have a free media or suffers from extreme self-censorship or has a very tiny middle class)

Or maybe you are right and my rule is full of s**t?

Finally.... maybe you shouldnt take this thread so seriously... after all... its about pop music
As far as I know "The British Invasion" is a widely used term to describe the influx of British pop groups entering the US market in the mid-sixties (basically following in the Beatles' footstepts). I don't quite know if that's what that commen was about, but if it is I hope that clears things up.
