<Without human rights protection it will be very slow going, though.> Nobody who knows anything about China would say it is changing too slowly. It is moving at warp speed. I had dinner with a Chinese friend tonight -- he and his family are off for a skiing vacation next week. If his daughter who is 14 now goes to university in the USA it is anybody's guess as to whether she would want to stay after graduation. You see China through the eyes of Hong Kong 20 years ago. I mentioned some of your comments to my friend at dinner tonight -- he rolled his eyes and laughed. Your views simply do not have any meaning in today's China and you grossly underestimate the market here and the capacity of the people to make China a major player in every sense. China is the new economy.
