On China and Mercantilism

April 21st, 2006 · No Comments

I’ve really gone whole-hog into all things China since my class the recently concluded semester.  This blog, China Matters, written by an anonymous (presumably) Chinese author, parses the US position on China.  China Matters: Mercan–what???

To justify the political, economic, and military risks of confronting China–and wean Taiwan, Australia, Indonesia, and India away from the dangerously seductive idea that peace, prosperity, and coexistence might go hand in hand–China’s policy is best described in aggressive, expansionist terms.

At the very least, we hope to characterize China as an immoral and inimical actor on the world stage, greedily playing footsie with dictators in Iran, Burma, and Sudan while the US valiantly tries to build a better, freer world.
