China's Growing Strength

Are we so caught up in our own little world that we may be ignoring China's growing economic and military strength? See Mark Helprin's piece in the WSJ, Beyond the Rim. This is an important piece.

Maybe something to be aware of...China and Russia are planning to participate in joint military war games in an effort to "promote the development of the two countries' strategic collaborative relationship in order to safeguard and promote regional and world peace," according to President Hu Jintao.

I sure hope it's true about Communism being dead!
