Having had the chance to chat with a couple of their "businessmen" on a very long flight, after their 4th or so free drink, they really opened up.
I found them to be racist to the max and having very long memories. Having had a pub-lick skool education, I knew nothing about the Boxer rebellion or the consequences to China after. Lordy, those people have an attitude! And we did cr@p on them. Tie that into their "face" mentality I think we are on the USS Heap-O-Trouble.

We stopped the Japanese invasion into China. Read about Nanking. What the Japanese did to China was far and away much worse than anything we did.

We were allies in WWII with China and USSR. Russia is not our mortal enemy now, and if we remain vigilant, there's every hope we can pass through these choppy waters and eventually come to a denouement with China as well.

Meanwhile, it looks like time to push for a solar power satellite array to be built by an international consortium like the Alaska pipeline was.

My science sense tells me that hydrogen power cells are not the answer, and cold fusion is a dream unless Albiquerque blows up unexpectedly.

China is much like the Arab world, a primitive backwater with a thin veneer of civilization, and a grudge for centuries of self-induced failure projected outward in classic narcissistic fashion.

Like Araby, the Chinese borrow pride from the shadow of grandeur from ages past, while living like medieval peasants in a 21st century world.

China has been more aggressive in its efforts at modernization but their crippling weakness is about half a billion essentially under-/unemployed people with no hope for sharing in the coastal urban speckles of prosperity.

They have a mag-lev train from the airport, but 50 million people who (literally) live in caves.

They better be careful. Being a racially homegenious society makes them very vulernable to ethnic-based Nano-weapons. If we ever came to the brink of nuclear war, we could simply launch such weapons by the millions over China to kill every ethnic Chinese person in any geographical area we wish. Their weapons would have a much harder time distinguishing ethnicities if launched here. This will be a huge benefit of our diversity in the future.
