Martin Jacques published his book entitled "When China rules the world" The end of the Western World and the birth of a new global order. Penguin Publilsher 550 pp. $29.95
Martin Jacques,a British news columnist, became fascinated by the manic modernization underway in China when he visited in 1993. He saw construction cranes working round the clock, roads streaming with trucks and carts, and peasant women balancing wares on either end of a bamboo pole. The vibrant energy and evident willpower got Jacques musing: Would the economic boom follow the Western model? Or would China pursue modernity in its own way?
Comment: Confucianism teaches folks in China to be industrious and thrifty. That is one of the major reason of China's progress. Needless to say, the policies of the leadership would be another factor as well.
Francis Shieh aka Xie Shihao had vision of a prosperous China apropos of lectures as a Fulbright Senior Scholar in Hong Kong, April 5, 1990.
