Ron in the interest of dialog I do think it is germain to debate - in the midst of all the fluff that is going to come out of parachute journalists in Peking - the "character of China".

If I give opinion heres I am not a rascist, I am trying to give my opinion and elicit a response. Your characterizing me as a rascist is not really accurate.... I don't believe. I don't reazlly see how you reach this reference as a racist when I write," "Population. Basically, it seems to me that the 100 million young, mostly uneducated "country" young men migrating to the Chinese cities won't find work and that these 100 million pissed off young men -without Chinese women because of "male preference" in Chinese famlies - will form the core of a generation of discontent in China that is difficult if not impossible for China to deal with. This underpopulation of dispossessed will eventually turn to traditional tong like criminality and drugs; it will be one of the largest destabilizing forces to the rest of the world, as this group of young men seeks a larger and larger sphere of influence. Meanwhile, in China 99.99% of this group will supply a permanent drag on the economy and it will form the center of hitherto undreamt of urban slums prey to Hitler-like xenophobic visions of Chinese superiority".


Actually, I hve received numerous grants, fellowships, curatorships relating to Asian studies...all of which have left me deeply suspicious of the current leadership in China.

I remember in the early 90's when one of Deng's family members got married. Diane Warwick was reputed to have been paid $3 million to sing at the wedding in Rome. She was flown alone to Rome in a private Boeing. When I heared this I considered it totally bizaare but lately when I consider the uses and abuses of massive power I think it might have happened.

Any. Thanks for your input.
