SCOPE: "Don't Be Afraid of China," by Melinda Liu, Newsweek, 12 October 2009.
Great point by Liu: this was all about telling the Chinese people not to worry, and that their government has their s--t together.
The fear is reasonable, as China's pol-mil ability to defend its growing vast network and trade and financial connectivity with the world is marginal at best, meaning there's a big shortfall between capability to defend and vulnerability--very USA circa 1880.
