Posted by Thomas P.M. Barnett May 25, 2005 "I think the Internet is hastening China along the same path that South Korea, Chile and especially Taiwan pioneered. In each place, a booming economy nurtured a middle class, rising education, increased international contact and a growing squeamishness about torturing dissidents." My point is the same: China will change because of the Chinese, not because of the West, although we can certainly screw it up all right with crazy dreams of wars some may consider worth waging.
