What if that idea is the notion that Chinese culture is the true destiny of the human race, and that only due to misfortune has the "oldest" civilization been "asleep" all these long years?

First of all, I thought Islam was the idea whose time had come?

As a teacher of World History, I think when the world realizes that Chinese philosophy is singularly unaccepting of foreign influences (ever hear of the Boxer Rebellion?) to the point of xenophobia, then nationalism will only succeed in China. Only in the sense that it's possible for cultural revolution to take place inside China, but I have very little fear it will spread globally as a peaceful process. Then it becomes a military problem that has a military solution.

Whups, time for me to go to Church. I'll pick this up and finish later. God Bless, y'all.

Then it becomes a military problem that has a military solution.

I think it's heading that way. Their massive efforts to undermine our R&D security, their attempts to find suitable bases around the third world, and their Russian arms purchases are just some of the clues.
