>The Chinese are inventing a new New Imperialism, one in which intertwined corporate and governmental interests are pursued.> What's new? This is as old as corporations themselves. en.wikipedia.org The Dutch East India Company (Vereenigde Oost-Indische Compagnie or VOC in Dutch, literally "United East Indian Company") was a chartered company established in 1602, when the States-General of the Netherlands granted it a 21-year monopoly to carry out colonial activities in Asia. It was the first multinational corporation in the world and the first company to issue stock.[1] It was also arguably the world's first megacorporation, possessing quasi-governmental powers, including the ability to wage war, negotiate treaties, coin money, and establish colonies.[2]

Good post but I disagree on this point.. The Chinese are inventing a new New Imperialism, one in which intertwined corporate and governmental interests are pursued Looks strikingly like the American model :O)
