When Red China, the Green Olympics, and the Yellow River Collide

"Self-righteous" forgets that the student bravely facing down the tanks in Tianamen Square was never heard from again...nor were those students crushed to death by the same tank squadrons.

Sooner or later as rank and file Chinese enjoy the fruits of their capitalist labors, that lingering memory of brave students will ignite the growing clamor for more personal rights and liberty. Hopefully, the ruling party will see the wisdom in listening to the people from whom their true political power is derived. It will become an anachronism in a couple of more decades, I think, unless it evolves, too. Change from its current system of governance is inevitable.

In the meantime, let's all watch China grow itself economically through its use of smart thinking and very hard work. I think the period from about 1992 until ???? will mark China's modern Golden Age. For an outside observer like me, this already is a remarkable period in geopolitical history, and I hope for the very best for all of China.
