Hi,

My opinion about this.

 I can easily classifing the words appear on NY Time and here as
the copy of 70s cold war. It is simply copied the context and the
content, then changes the subject  from CCCP to China. Any body
can recall what were said about China when CCCP was as the subject
of the cold war? Problem is by the same hope, the same strategy
and the same media presentation, what they will bring to us? It is
really not a question easily to answer.

Here is one point that is critically different about China.
Till now, China is the only continuous culture in the history of
world and China had not invade any body else within at least 2 thousands
years. The question is and was obvious: what the world would be, if
China did differently? Did and do they capable do differently?

So, my opinion about aggresiveness to China will be, if you know
history, I mean real history and not the kind you been told on TV for
the general public. You will understand that why you should be so happy
to see Chinese ask benefit from West directly.

Little exchange rate problem, that means nothing comparing to the huge
problem,
people really relutently to mention.

Paul
