[quote=GRIZ326,38132]To Chris' post...in John Fairbanks' writings of China, he pointed out that the Chinese people often absorbed the invading populations and made them Chinese. There is much to be admired in the ancient wisdom. When I wrote in my diary after leaving China in 1978, I wrote that the the Chinese might be the best equipped civilization to "separate the wheat from the chaff" with regard to the sort of society the West and capitalism has developed. I still believe that is true. ...another thing that I wrote in my diary...was that for all of the millions of people in China there was only one heartbeat. Modernization has disrupted that, at least for the present.... My greatest concern is that the Chinese will succumb to the temptations of greed. However, I believe/hope that the ancient Chinese culture and wisdom will provide guidance to the Chinese and all cultures (by example) as our global society struggles to find its way in the future.[/quote]
