Once again we are spiraling down into a right/wrong debate. This is not the point. The point is that China and America are not friends. There is a well known saying even among higher Chinese politicians that war with America is ineveitable. Please I don't say who is right or wrong. I jsut say that trouble is coming. Walt's post lists some of the possible problems when trouble developes. Absolutely rtight on.
But Walt's post is wrong about just who owns what (and never mind quite why) and CS's corrections are indeed correct. Helps to get at least some of the facts right first, eh?
As for trouble being inevitable, I don't agree with that either, regardless of what the intentions might be (on both sides).
An article titled "Slowly but steadily, India will overtake China" was published in the IHT about six months ago. It's discussed here, interesting:
