British writer Martin Jacques (When China
Rules the World, 2009) predicts that by 2030 China will be 1/3 of global
output, greater than the US and Europe combined.
Economic dominance leads to cultural dominance: Jacques’ TED talk is worth hearing. Chinese culture’s most esteemed virtue is
social harmony and unity. The West seeks
justice at the cost of harmony. Let us
hope we become more harmonious. Will our officials let their fingernails grow?
