Mark Steyn sets me straight on China

I came back from my recent trip to Shanghai with advice to my sons (see here), but Mark Steyn's column has me wondering. Read the whole thing especially the last paragraph. via Instapundit

Comments:
"China won't advance to the First World with its present borders intact. In a billion-strong state with an 80 per cent rural population cut off from the coastal boom and prevented from participating in it, "One country, two systems" will lead to two or three countries, three or four systems. The 21st century will be an Anglosphere century, with America, India and Australia leading the way. Anti-Americans betting on Beijing will find the China shop is in the end mostly a lot of bull."

Oh, Mein Got!! We should remember that China has a good nuclear arsenal and has good technologies to "talk" with U.S.A. I really do not believe that India and Australia will lead the 21st century together with U.S.A. First, India is so or poorer than China when talking about all the population, the most part of Indians lives in rural areas, as the chineses do. Second, Australia does not have a large population as those two countries, I think that Australia has more Koalas and Kangaroos than people. Oh no, the Australians will use their Secret Weapon: The Australian X-Weapon. I say this, because if The Australian X-Weapon survived the most hostile and primitive land known to man and made the same through a week in New York, why not to rule the World beside U.S.A (see the movie's Tagline) ? :D

The chineses worry USA when the subject is some military thing (see Rumsfeld declaration about China's Military Investment) and/or another strategic issue, for example, Aerospace Technology. Why do you think that China was not accepted to join the International Space Station's Construction ? The USA should be aware, because, as China is the Piracy Paradise, the chineses, maybe, can build a Pirate Version of ISS.

I thought so strange that Mark Steyn has not told about Japan and South Korea. Japan is a big country, it is an Industrial Platform at the sea and is buying, in a quiet way, a lot of major USA companies.

So, what about Latin America and its biggest country (my country), Brazil ? Well, the biggest problem of Latin Americans is that they are not so happy or unhappy to do something more violent or to just claim their rights, instead of this they prefer to dance Salsa, Lambada or Samba.

But, we do not must see China as a Wild-Wild-Wild country or as an inhuman nation. Let's take USA as an example: Which of those two do you think is the most inhuman ? China ? Well, we must remember that who dropped off two Atom Bombs in Japan were not the Chineses, but the United States of (God Bless) America and that who sponsored all Latin America Dictatorships in the 1950's/1960's/1970's was, too, USA; and, who is killing Iraq's persons is, again, USA.

I'm not a Communist/Socialist/Terrorist/other-ist (but I'm an Genetic Algorithmst :D), but when talking about World Subjects, we should pay attention to more than just one view about the issue.

See You.
