And yes, I know this blog is inaccessible via the open net in mainland China - all blog hosting sites that are not under Communist Party control are blocked in China. I also post most of this stuff on scribd.com (a website for writers), but that is also blocked in China.<br /><br />An option for your friend in China is a proxy server, such as vtunnel.com.<br /><br />MarcusMarcus T.

The question is, when? I'm not sure about people like Kishore Mahbubani, who says it is natural for Asia to be the centre of world economy because it was that way in the past. That assumes history is linear - other historians see it as cyclical, which is in my opinion, a more accurate model. Civilisations shift upwards and downwards in various ways, from century to century.Marcus T.

What kind of country is China going to become; what value-system does it embody? Every country has to ask itself that question, but one that's on such an evidently unsustainable track as China has to do so even more - and one often gets the impression that the debate gets strangled in its cradle by a Party unwilling to see its dominance questioned or challenged in any way.Simonbuchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11156813556822714480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5686500107282182587.post-61003548411771969252010-06-26T09:24:04.170-07:002010-06-26T09:24:04.170-07:00Great post!

We don't need superpowers - their days of domination are over - we need countries united in preserving what is left of our planet. China should not model itself after the US. The time has come for a new way of thinking, one that is sustainable, and includes all countries, and all peoples.Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13178290697351352495noreply@blogger.com
