(Community Matters) I love reading that Pres Obama is meeting with Chinese students in Shanghai
. Gotta admit, I miss our yearly MBA trips to collaborate with students at Jiao Tong University in Shanghai. As reading the news stories, reminded what several told me (especially several former US students who have repatriated), “you join the communist party, that’s just what you do – doesn’t mean a thing. Your real affiliation and loyalty is to capitalism.”
I’m not a fatalist re: America’s cultural and economic leadership, and I think David Brooks makes good points in today’s NYT column.
I have a great deal of affection for China and its people. I don’t see their cultural and economic rise as threatening. Our world is well served by strong nations. Just as our country is better served by two strong political parties, our world is probably better served by two super powers.
