Article was written in April 2006 but makes for an interesting read. Is it bragging or possibility.

Sparrow, you stand tall on your perch today! Excellent article. I've long thought China posed the greatest threat to the West. Hasn't stopped numerous major western companies from helping build the Asian nation into the giant it is today.
I do think a showdown lies ahead. And when it comes we know whom to thank.

The greatest threat to the west is the west.

Thank you I am glad you like the article. I also have thought that China was hiding behind a misconception that they were so poor they couldn't possibly have the technology. But they are very smart and are possibly the sleeping giant of the near future.

Doesn't look much like they're sleeping to me. Been under the impression for decades that they couldn't have such a vast land of rich resources and be as poor as their public looks.
