<<I would expect elites in both India and China are acutely aware of the desire of other countries to create strategic conflict between them, and will carefully avoid this trap for the next 20-30 years>> EP, a very wise statement, because I know the strategy think tanks and luminaries are talking on this very point, and both sides are 'puzzled' as to why anyone would think there would be a strategic conflict between the two. I think the Himalya is more of a psychological barrier than many people realize, and culture differences (or perhaps better termed as mutual ignorance) are supposedly vast. The folks on either side barely are aware of each other ... just a name on the map, although they share a long border. Through conversations with the proper sort of folks, I get the impression that folks in India are slightly more aware of China than the other way around. We of Freedom Rock and Money Mountain are a bit more aware, since there are mnay hedge funds based in HK but with a large presence in India, and so have quite a few Indian financial types. They are as fun as financial types from any and everywhere, and good on boat outings. Well brought up, properly read, and very good folks. We have an Indian neighbor living next to my in-laws. The man (also named Jay) is a trader of textile and stuff (buys from China/India/SriLnka, and sells to Europe) and the lady a teacher at the international school. The man gives me a view into the trading world, and I get the impression that I would not survive for more than a few trades in China or India :0) The couple and their three sons will be joining us for New Year's Eve party in the in-law's garden, and I will ask him what the everyman on the street of Shenzhen and Bombay thinks of each other. The three sons are graduates of Stanford,, Princeton and MIT ... I guess Indians emphasize education as well. His car rear windshield is properly decorated. Happy holidays, J P.S. do you have a feel for 2006 yet, or will play it by ear?
