The future is open, who knows what can emerge, good or bad. Since it is a top-down approach expect much more experimentation ahead.PBXhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12653523453598448464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4050554817776641945.post-29693542045455412372008-12-05T02:39:00.000-08:002008-12-05T02:39:00.000-08:00This is a rare piece of matter-of-fact, non-opinio...This is a rare piece of matter-of-fact, non-opinionated analysis from a westerner. The depth of the author's understanding and the cold way he presents it are almost terrifying. It doesn't offer cheap "solutions" or conclusions, instead it raises many questions that go beyond China. For example, the United States considers itself a "melting pot" of multiple cultures, which is clearly a much more successful model than the Soviet multicultural model. Yet merely suggesting that China may adopt such a melting pot approach should chill the Tibetan activists to the bone.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15213199614270640851noreply@blogger.com
