i suspect, maurice, that we would also agree on the matter of french vs freedom fries :0)

with re to the sino-japan war going china's way, it was no more necessary for that war episode to go china's way than it was for the war episode with the great khan to go china's way, because at the end, say the start of the fabulous ming dynasty in the case of the khan, it would have been china's way any way, for that is destiny and fate, biblical, to the righteous, obviously, and intuitively so

war is only an episode, a fractal scale-up of the campaign, battle, skirmish, and shouting match; and nothing more

the fractal dynamic is still working, as expected, and so we of the thread watch n brief

you do see that, do you not?

pls dwell on it during hot tub to ward of the nz winter and revert when convenient :0)

btw, am i to understand that nz did not win wwii per some threaders belief?

One aspect of the current political scene that is unclear to me is the relationship between China and Russia. In Mao's time things were very bad, with shots being exchanged across the border. Now China has a great need for hydrocarbons, which Russia has in abundance. Presumably mutually-profitable business considerations now dominate, while areas of competition are less important.
