#1 What an odd way of being an apologist for the Obama Administration: we're not declining. Decline is relative. Decline isn't so bad. Etc etc

The tone of this article is... weird.

#2 Hopelessly America-centric perspective. Taiwan will reunify, but it will take 50 years and will be driven by economic intertwinement rather than military assault.

China will likewise move towards a more representative government, but it will take a much longer time than Westerners are used to. The Chinese plan generations ahead.

#3 Courtesy of the American ruling class that sets the rules and the American sheep who follow them. Enjoy America, our 23% un-underemployment.

#5 The Washington Post does seem to have odd standards for their opinion writers. Certainly Bobby has found plenty of fodder for fisking...

Excalibur, feel free to expand on your comment, which would be helpful for me, if no one else. :-)

#6 "The Chinese plan generations ahead."

The chinese don't plan anything neither anyone else. They planned the cultural revolution?
Even 20 years is unplannable.
