Arnold, "In 1985 a small group of us were in a conference in China and Zhu Rongi who was then mayor of Shanghai said that in 25 years China would be a world leading country on par with North America .as we returned home that evening through the throngs of a "bicycle rush hour" to unheated Hotel rooms we simply did not believe him..14 years later it doesn't look so ridiculous?" I was in Guangzhou in 1986, and heard the same (or a similar) thing from 2 different people. Also heard the same story in Taiwan, where they were also predicting that after Deng died, the country would split into pieces. Then Taiwan would sweep in and lead the country into reunification as a capitalist haven. Lots of stories. Some always turn out to be true.
