Minxin Pei and Jonathan Anderson: " Debate Beijing's Rise: 15 Minutes Up?"

Pei argues the effects of severe environmental degradation with population problems and a "diseased infrastructure." et al with negative scenario in substance.

Anderson cited the facts and figures about China's market economy with detailed economic analysis.

I would like to recommend such article to the readers to assess Sino-American Economics from two writers.

It is my way to track down a writer's background. Pei came to USA decades ago when China was not doing well in economics and he appears to hold such back in his mind as a political scientist with his vested "political propensity." Anderson is a mature economist working for Swiss UBS with vested interest to promote multi-national economic activities. I am an independent student of Sino-American economics since I came to the USA as a graduate student in 1947. Overall, I am more inclined to endorse the sound reasoning of Jonathan Anderson in a nutshell but I wish to add that Chinese in China and overseas Chinese are supporting China's achievements with positive outlook for Sino-American economics. Needless to say,the future course remains to be seen from empirical evidence in the days to come. Moreover,there are American leaders and scholars who would evaluate China's economic future with reasonable endorsement apropos of globalization.

In short,any affirmative thought would be desirable and negative rationale would not be proper in the global economy. My case rests here for reader's own judgment. Thanks and have a great day to read the current issue of "The National Interest" at Borders bookstore for scholarly enrichment.
