“Just one comment, could someone have visited the US during the 1930s and have guessed that the US would dominate the world economy in 50 years?”

Most people probably would have guessed the US or Germany. France was on the wane since Germany became a national state and cracks were beginning to appear in the British Empire.

I like the entry and agree with most comments, except “I think communism works well for the Chinese.” China is not communist in name or practice.

I agree with your friend's assessment regarding the Chinese government's need to figure out what to do with its 800 million rural citizens who have not yet really joined in the boom.

Beijing is changing in remarkable ways, you can feel it while you are there. It’s amazing to feel capitalism clashing with the red state.

But yes, it is the most polluted place I have ever been in the world. I pretty much felt sick whenever riding in a cab or just being outside. That said, they are cleaning up the city immensely for the olympics. I wonder how the atheletes will fare in this environment.
