China's century: on the march
Kaixin - an insightful article, in our opinion, spot on the mark. Our comment on the article:
An insightful article and spot on in my opinion. Three years ago I was teaching in China where I met and married a Chinese lady. She was born in 1966 into the heart of the Cultural Revolution. Her family were branded counter revolutionaries and she spent most of her early years on prison farms. Thanks to Deng Xiaoping she was able to graduate with a degree in finance. So, she has lived through the rise and rise of China, only coming to live in Australia two years ago. She is immensely proud of china's place in the world. Also, frustrated at the still quite xenophobic response to China's increasing influence. As an Australian who grew up influenced by the western media's view of China, I have now discovered a new way of understanding that great civilization and in particular its recent history. China is not the 'west', it has its own unique history and culture. Rather than being frightened of how China will influence the world in the 21st century, we should all try to learn more and interact with the changes. All sacred cows can do with scrutiny from time to time. If they are strong enough they will continue to graze, if not then perhaps it is time to evolve and change – or become pet food.
