    the fortress area is usually a symbol of defensiveness or resistance to change. predictable, understandable and therefore it can be coped with.

    the deep water area would usually symbolise the unknown or unknowable, the threatening, action from a concealed place, from below, unseen.

    it is a very strong symbol.

    An economic overhaul is not the major problem in China. What needs overhauls are the political system, land ownership rights, and a legal system that actually works. None of those seem to be in the near future.
