[quote=LEONARDO,282469]Source: http://www.goodmagazine.com/section/Features/10_nixon_china Why China Matters #10 Because Nixon went to China and your world was born. #9 Because China may be an ancient civilization, but it’s a young society that’s growing up very quickly and unevenly. #8 Because China’s transformation echoes much of America’s past, not only the good, but plenty of the bad, and the ugly too. #7 Because China’s rapid and deep integration into manufacturing means that Chinese products permeate your life –at some risk. #6 Because China’s demand for resources is altering global markets in ways both profound and perverse. #5 Because the panda “huggers” versus “sluggers” debate is a lot of hot air -- until Washington scares Beijing into raising your morgate interest rate five points overnight. #4 Because as China builds out its infrastructure, it can set a good or a bad example to developing economies struggling to dealing with fragile environments. #3 Because China is globalization’s general contractor: always happy to take the job and your money, but hard to get on the phone once you discover problems. #2 Because China will not be our biggest future enemy but our ally. #1 Because we are less than five years from a new generation of Chinese leaders with whom a far stronger relationship may well be built.
