The size of China’s displacement of the world balance is such that the world must find a new balance. It is not possible to pretend that this is just another big player. This is the biggest player in the history of the world. Lee Kwan Yew.
I am starting to appreciate the Singapore genius. The entrance of the Chinese people in the world scene has changed everything. Few realize it, and even fewer (or none?) are courageous to think it over to the end.
American elite universities are unable to solve the dilemma of a balanced student body. If meritocracy is worth something, then the student body will be Chinese with a sprinkle of Ayers and Jews. If they opt for balanced democracy, they need to discriminate against the Chinese. In Malaysia and Indonesia the Chinese minority accepts second-rank citizenship. Is that the American solution too?
There are many Think Tanks in America and Europe mapping out the future. How will all this end? They are not saying. Maybe the end is unhappy.
Is it good for the Jews? The little we know about the Kaifeng Jews shows that most of the time they were rich and powerful. They travelled to Peking to take the Imperial Civil Service exam and were promoted to mandarin positions.
My aunt Kovacs spent the war as a refugee in Shanghai. Never said a bad word about the Chinese people. As far as I know, the Chinese helped them.
The Chinese allow others to live and we shall be able to live with them.
