Washington Post,Feb.28,10: A13.B1,B5 on USA/ China
Page A13: US GDP growth in 2009 -2.4
World GDP growth -2.1
China GDP growth 8.5
"The newfound confidence of China,India,and Brazil has bred expectations that their growing power will be accommodated within the international system. This already has begun to generate tensions, most noticeably between US and China."
Comment: Such so-called tension is not warranted in the name of globalization for mutual benefit re peace and economic development.
Page B5: Prof. Gregory Mankiw of Harvard,former Chairman of Council of Economic Advisers under President Bush says: "It is not like a sports contest, where one side wins and the other side loses. In fact, the opposite is true. Trade between two countries can make each country better off." His view is similar to my past blogs citing the Law of Comparative Advantage. Cf.the archives of the blogs for reference.
The conclusion of the feature article: "China is no enemy,but inflating the challenge from China could be just as dangerous as underestimating it."
Comment: Some would overestimate and others could underestimate. The point is open competition and free trade for the benefit of USA and China in the 21st century.
"A Glimpse of the Chinese Language" in English, is available free of charge at www.rand.org pdf as public service for better communication.
Philosophy of Confucianism would be useful for Americans to understand Chinese way of thinking. Language and culture should be studied as desideratum to promote harmony in USA and in China as well.

"The Most Dangerous Man in America is about Ellsberg who was at the RAND Corporation. I was at RAND as a colleague and teacher with Richard Moorsteen at the Department of Economics from January 1964 to September 1965. I left RAND due to budget cut and went to Surveys and Research Corporation to compile a Directory of Chinese Scientific and Research Institutes,published by Hoover Institution, Stanford University in 1971.
Ellsberg was a Harvard trained strategist to run the Vietnam War and his story still resonates. Richard Moorsteen published "Remaking China Policy" Harvard University Press,1971 and US normalized relations with China in January 1979 by President Jimmy Carter. RAND researchers claim to be ahead of US government's policy with vision.

Economics of Inequality et al:Washington Post,2.27/10
Page A14: Carrie Lukas wrote to the Letter to the editor: " Women face unique challenges in society. But it's hardly empowering to wallow in the false notion that intractable discrimination condemns us to second-class earnings. The fact is, full-time working men spend more time in the office, take less time away from the workforce and accept more risk (men suffer 93% of workplace deaths) than full-time working women. These are the primary reasons for the gap.
Comment: She did not quote the source of 93% deaths. Reliable or otherwise? I wonder!
Page C7: Comics: PICKLES- Cartoon in the light vein with humor for all disciples of Mark Twain:-
The kid asks:"What's for dinner,Granma? Reply: "Someone once said,there are only two lasting gifts we can give to our children." "One is roots and the other is wings." The kid seems to understand by saying:"She says that whenever we're having carrots and KFC." It is a matter of perception and reception. A smile or lots of laughs?
Whether it is about dinner or global economic crisis,we try to get along with different types of folks to smooth our way to pitch ideas. Carrot or stick? KFC goes to China for Sino-American Economics of Business. BTW,I have been a Kentucky Colonel since 1970 but I am allergic to Chicken since a was a youngster with phobia developed when witnessing the slaughter in Shanghai.
I have the following reflection in Pin Yin system of romanization:
1.Zuo ba wang jiu,i.e. An octogenarian looking forward to be in 90s,
2.lai ri fang chang, i.e. Many more years to come,
3.bai shou qu jing, i.e. Obtaining knowledge and wisdom with white hair,
4.lao dang yi zhuang!i.e. Aging with robust body and clear mind. (hale and hearty)
Nian yu gu xi qi cheng qi,(Surpassing old age praying to be somebody;hai wai ku du pan shi ji+(Studying hard overseas for half a century plus);wang fan zu guo jian qing ren(Going back and forth-USA/China-visiting beloved folks),yan wang zi sun bu wang ben(the descendant of the Yellow Emperor would cherish his roots).
Rejuvenation at age 84 to continue my learning: In Pin Yin "Zhi wu zhi now(I feel I still have lots to learn" Such state of mind is set to endorse "Work and Study Cycle Theory" www.ask.com for implementation of learning knowledge and wisdom to age 100+ as centenarian-to-be. 16 more years to go! Go for it!
I hope the readers would see fit to agree with the above thoughts?!

American history and Chinese history in a nutshell
George Washington possessed physical energy, strength and stamina. He also placed significant emphasis on proper social bearing, appearance and conduct.
A leader must acquire a discipled and orderly mind - one accustomed to thinking hard as his body is inured to working hard for folks to emulate. He escaped moving his 9,000 troops across the East River under cover of darkness and heavy fog, leaving the British astonished.
Chairman Mao had similar encounters with KMT troops in Chinese history.
Washington and Mao appeared on the currencies in USA(One Dollar bill) and in China(RMB) as I have observed their accomplishment in politics with economics. Political economy is in action then and now!
February 26, 1962 President John F. Kennedy met Astronaut Lt. Col. John H. Glenn on Andrews AF base for a modified Joint Armed Services Honors Ceremony held in a hangar due to inclement weather.
We have inclement weather today,Feb.26, 2010 as well. I have also noticed Kennedy coins as a collector of metals with intrinsic value. Currencies are papers with confidence and metals have intrinsic value in philosophical context especially penny from the copper as known.
Francis Shieh a.k.a. Xie Shihao on Feb.26, 2010 at 1.56 p.m.at Andrews AF Base to have such recollections to share with readers of Sino-American Economics.

Patriot Act in US and National Defense Mobilization Law in China et al
Washington Post, Feb. 26, 2010 page A8:
National Security: Patriot Act provisions extended by a year in USA to President Obama for his signature apropos of Anti-Terrorism operations.
On page A23: US Secretary of Education Arne Duncan published an article entitled "Investing in students, not the banks."
"A study of national postsecondary student aid found that in 2008, two-thirds of college seniors graduated with debt averaging more than $23,000. President Obama wants to eliminate the subsidy for banks and use that money to help poor and middle-class students and adults attend college. He also wants to strengthen community colleges, give grants to states that improve college completion rates."
"The Future of Community College." was published by the Congressional Record,July 18, 1974 as a vision of an economist to promote economic development from the grassroots in America.
www.Sina.com.Feb. 26, 2010: Details are given online and to be sent to President Hu for his signature as well.
Both nations are aware of the threat of terrorists in the global context in the days to come. Here is the common ground of USA/China as I have such thoughts to be shared with readers of Sino_American Economics.

Google has not left its China operations, saying it hopes to work things out et al
Washington Post, Feb. 25, 2010 on page A16:
The State Department quickly backed Google's decision, and Secretary Hillary Rodham Clinton announced in a separate speech that the administration would fight for all global internet users to access the content of their choice.
Page 9 of Local Living in Metro Washington DC area: WELLNESS: Whip yourself into shape with the rope workout. Whipped!
It is one of the most popular classes in China as well. There is rope jumping in China.
Adequate sleep in important to maintain a clear mind with healthy body.
Moreover, food eating habits must be guarded e.g.1. lots of water such as plain, black tea and coffee. No sugar added but lots of fruit plus oatmeal,veggie,whole grains,beans,nuts plus the determination not to indulge much in sweets.
