China Waking

I've previously posted several links to articles that outline China's growing economic foundation and America's resultant dependancy on it.

This op/ed piece puts those figures in the larger context, namely that China is playing to win. That their growing power isn't an economic fluke founded soley on a surplus of cheap labor, but a concerted effort on all fronts to become a superpower. Think about that while doing your Christmas shopping.

So alarmist, Andy! Never thought you were one to be like this. Gosh how Indiana can affect someone!

Yea, I'm with Frannie on this one; how can you proliferate this article which promotes authoritarianism as the pre-eminent political model? Our most talented kids at Qiannan would beg to differ.

Yeah, yeah. Maybe I didn't read ALL of the article. I latched onto the fact that while the US is cutting its public diplomacy budget China is increasing its own.
Whatever.
