Jay, I think China cannot succeed if the hard-wired chromo-lattice of experience is the criterion. They are stuck with their clonesville thinking of walls inside walls inside walls inside walls. With the walls of their mental sandbox a final constraint with the sand in the sand box, not to mention the desert, hindering their eyes due to throwing it around. The wall is a vital ingredient of Chinese culture. It's a psychic barrier, to themselves as much as the wicked Khans. To get to the core, one must get through the Embassy walls [three; the gate, the door, the security window], then the Great Wall, then the Forbidden City outer wall, then inner wall, then innner-inner wall, then inner-inner-inner wall. Then the personal sand-box mental walls. These sand-box walls are built into Yiwu the Mad's clonesville Chinese over thousands of years in hard-wired lattice. They need to think outside the sandbox, as you say, then outside the next, then the next, the next and the next, to be free. Perhaps they simply can't imagine it. Then, there's the Western idea of universality and boundlessness. China is the walled-in event horizon black hole, the West the inflationary universe of freedom. It will be an interesting interaction. Okay, the "West" isn't exactly the nirvana of freedom, and both West and China are more like each other than different, but you know what I mean. I enjoy a good rant, not to mention some exaggeration for emphasis. Mqurice
