Hi Jay, my reaction to this ... to mark the copy book in my diary:
China's Economic Facade [Wash. Post] washingtonpost.com By Arthur Waldron Thursday, March 21, 2002; Page A35
The Washington Post, NYT and their offspring IHT are suspects in wrong analysis dissemination, wrong for years, policy tools. Here is a view from the ground and air:
Message 16178484
Full Disclosure on my bias against NYT: Message 15134944
<<The US press (WSJ, NYTimes, Washington Post are the typical of the lot) is often sanctimonious, hypocritical and very conveniently forgetful, and thus good to see them twist and turn on their biased hooks>>
Message 16350684
<<You have been reading too much NYT and WSJ>>
Message 16354252
<<I am actually bullish because I see the event as a possible trigger for clear thinking, leading to true solutions. Not the SOG that is spewed out by National Review, WSJ, NYT, and worst of all, CNBC and CNN.>>
Message 16362728
<<In Bush’s new order, China must be included as a partner, and I believe Bush now knows this, and soon, NYT, WSJ, National Review, once these outfits have had a chance to reflect and ponder>>
Message 17207378
<<What I do know is that if the NYT reported it, it is most likely biased, unless they suggest blowing up the Hoover Dam to restore environmental balance>>
My view on China Investment ...
Message 16988167
<<China investments involve much pain, and folks generally are willing to pay me more on the way out than in. They tend to swagger on the way in, grasping, and stagger going the other way, gasping, choking, or simply no longer breathing>>
Chugs, Jay |
