Out of China for Olympics Edition

Back in the US now just before the Olympics. So much has happened in China this past year (storms, earthquakes, protests, Tibet, etc.) and I am sure there is more to come over the next few weeks. I plan to write a bit more about my experiences but wanted to direct you to a great piece in the Washington Post this past weekend.

You can read it here and it boils down to:

China, the drumbeat goes, is poised to become the 800-pound gorilla of the international system, ready to dominate the 21st century the way the United States dominated the 20th.

Except that it's not.
