triple whammy

Since things will be closed for the next few days, and I don’t always have the time to write.. here is some more.

I finished the book China Inc. mentioned in my first HK post, which by the end turned in to an anti-communist verging on racist to inflict fear of the threat of the Chinese in the American people last ending thought. There is going to be increased prejudice and tension towards the Chinese in America if these types of attitudes continue as China rises to power. The end of the book spoke fearfully at the tightening bonds of Europe and Asia over Europe and America. America fears the decline in power and blames the Chinese, but the decline for the US is already well underway by their own means.

I am here at an interesting and exciting age for China, right before the boom. It is claimed that China has already had thousands of years of glory (and strife), but this is a new media-saturated, hi-tech age of civilization. It seems the society is really young and only starting to develop its image and place in the modern world. The young people in China are going to be the ones defining the world in the next decades of the future. I think the entire world is slowly starting to realize it. More people are taking attention to it and becoming interested in the country for business and culture.

Even in noise:
