Thanks for your views and extra info. My own aren't particularly strongly held though I am less sceptical about China's economy making it if only because they always take the long view, even if some of their actions may seem to contradict what their goal is (Great Power status without a fight).

Regs,

RE #16

Chinese do take a long view. However, they are relatively new to the capitalist game. And they are in a hurry to make up the loss of 150 years. Their inexperience and impatience(desperation) create a problem like potential banking crisis, which is more than a theoretical possibility. Transition of economy from one system to another is always hard contrary to views of some American economists.
