The Coming China Wars: Where They Will Be Fought and How They Can Be Won, Revised and Expanded Edition

In this comprehensive, contemporary look at the awakening giant that is China, Peter Navarro describes an emerging power beleaguered by both internal and external threats-if the Japanese don't get them, AIDS and SARS will. This will reassure those readers who are increasingly convinced that the Chinese will eat us for lunch. However, as Navarro points out, China's human and natural resources make her a formidable global player-and her native, amoral ruthlessness suggests she will win. Still, as a nation undergoing its Industrial Revolution in the Information Age, China has her problems transitioning from Communism to capitalist imperialism, as seems to be her goal. True, government and industry have forged strong bonds (that allow them to exploit slave labor and ignore environmental and economic constraints that hamper other nations), but like any modern nation, China is paying the price of competing in a global economy: pollution; rapacious private medical care expenses; an aging, under-pensioned population; international tensions; and a large and disgruntled peasant working class. Navarro, whose inclination to breathless hyperbole makes even a chapter on dam construction exciting, tellingly devotes 10 chapters to China's problems and one to their solution-essentially tired policy prescriptions (wean the U.S. from oil dependence and cheap Chinese imports). This informative book will teach readers to understand the dragon, just not how to vanquish it.

Review
"Peter Navarro is that rarest and most valuable of China-watchers -- an economist who sees the big strategic picture as well. The Coming China Wars contains the kind of realistic analysis needed by all Americans today, from voters to presidential candidates."- Alan Tonelson

What’s newsprint?
“The draft version of the American Psychiatric Association’s DSM 5, the psychiatric ‘bible’ that defines the revised criteria for diagnosing mental illness, has finally been published.
It’s a masterpiece of compromise – intended to be largely backwardly compatible, so most psychiatrists could just get on diagnosing the few major mental illnesses that all clinicians recognise in the same way they always did, with some extra features if you’re an advanced user.”

Kosavo was a legal UN intervention.
Bosnia was an illegal intervention by NATO.
Or just as illegal as Iraq was supposed to be.
And actually iraq had more legal justification.
Why did it take so long, NATO nations in europe are wimps.

Jimminy, Gallup’s polls report an average of spending ~60/day right now, down from more like ~$100/day last Aug. So, somewhere between $36000/year and $21900/year, not including housing, cars, and normal household bills… and comparing average spending to average income seems kosher to me.

People tend to act on rules made by others they do not know (for example: politicians, authors etc.) without questioning. Jem demonstrates this by breaking laws passed by some government, to remind people of not being mindless sheep.
The ISVPAA was quoted as saying at this commemoration of murder and pestilence visited upon the Egyptian people: “the enduring story of the Exodus teaches us that wherever we live, there is oppression to be fought and freedom to be won.”
