Nine point five million square kilometers [3.66 million square miles] of land of which an area of more that 2.5 million squares miles is the property of other nations, states and peoples -- not a single elected government in its much-vaunted "5,000 years of history" [Most of THAT fantasized and "recorded" by delusional lickspittle slaves during the reign of Human History's most prolific mass murderer, the predatorily-psychopathological pedophile, the serial-child-rapist, Mao Tze Tung -- and a Peking-based pack of every-bit-as predatorily-psychopathological lying looting, thieving mass-murdering gangster bastards that calls itself "china" in charge of more than a billion pathetic slaves -- and what little's left to loot?

And this joker wants us to believe "china's" figures and to be impressed with its stated "growth" when those of us who live here in Asia and anyone anywhere with a brain can see the life's blood being drained with no better command of "economics" than that afforded one by the old and trusty "Mark Eight eye ball!"

Look at Hong Kong whose wealth of blood and treasure has long ago been leached into the Peking pack's purses -- and with it [And Britain's squalid sell-out] the underpinning of most of South East Asia's so-called "tigers." [More than 85% of whose own much-vaunted "economic miracles" and "growth" represented foreign investment minus theft, graft and corruption]

"China" looks good to those who believe its murderers' lies and/or to those who need it to look good for whatever reason or to fulfil whatever ambition -- but take out America's Trillion or so Dollars of investments and trade imbalances and whaddyah got?

A delusional fantasy.

And a coming American credit-card interest-rate hike similar to those with which our Peter-Principle "managed" corporations' scurrilous underwriters have always "financed" their disasters and recovered their losses. Right up there with "deficit spending" and "inflation" among the most insidious forms of taxation -- and the means by which Wall Street's more evil bastards get away with capatalizing their gains and socializing their [Our] losses.

Your declarations seem overwrought to me . . .

However, in terms of The Party, the Peter principle does seem to be a serious problem.

HOWEVER, THEY CAN get top people into top positions when they want to. The competition amongst so many citizens for top merit positions DOES TEND to produce some top flight people.

As a rare western PhD in my provincial capital, I was responsible for teaching a number of such people. They were top quality in a list of ways.

And they had opinions and feelings aplenty about bringing China into the modern world politically as well as economically and scientifically.
