KastelCo, <<I have to learn to be more coy ;o)>> ... Precisely, but if we can keep the secret for a little bit longer, all the better for aggregation of resource shares and vacation lands :0) Many folks think China, like Japan, will continue for 20 years to buy US treasuries, and then shares, and then trophy buildings, invest in gizmo factories and then supply the parts that will help others to explore the moon and the stars, and then sell back the trophy buildings at much cheaper prices. I note, at one time most of the hotels on then Waikiki beach were owned by Hawaiian Chinese, until they sold at appreciated prices to the offshore Japanese. Chinese typically are value shoppers, whereas Japanese always manage to come in at the peak price, raising the ante by bidding against themselves, and then hold the bag as the dreams within turn to vapor. The folks ought to suspect that China may end up buying resources, relationships, education, people, and build nation, construct factories, as part of effort to explore the moon and stars, and ... oh, eventually, do something about Pax-Sinica to help keep new global order, without taking on unnecessary burdens while still manage to keep out the riff-raff. Folks ought to study Chinese history, all 5000 years of it, so as to better understand what is coming down the ages. Sure, China's development will have its twists and turns, but what drama doesn't? I suppose folks simply have not gotten used to the idea that there are greater possibilities in history. Chugs, Jay
