I'm new to the China threads. What are the 4 different nations you reference (ie--I'd like to hear your theory). Thanks.

Four nations of China--the $1.98 tour...

First, there is Agrarian China, where folks live as they have for years. They LOVE the central government, because they're a net drain on China's economy.

Then, there are the smokestack industries in Manchuria. They want policies that benefit them at the expense of everyone else. They'd vote for Buchanan's Chinese cousin if they could.

Third, there's the "Third Wave" China centered around Shanghai. The ambitious want to drag China into the 21st Century. The less ambitious simply want the other three Chinese nations to go fornicate themselves and let the Greater Shanghai area make LOTS and LOTS of money.

The fourth China ain't even really part of China--they are Tibetans, Muslims, and other subject peoples. They don't want the Chinese to go away mad--they just want them to go away.
