World affairs. China in its developing confusion
As the age of British Army street theatre and Irish private and public nuisance gives way to a Darkness not seen since the Middle Ages,let us cherish what Progress has achieved and the material benefits which it confers on all of us.
It is time to look to a world devoid of concepts of industrial expansion ad infinitum.
China's reckless abandonment of environmental standards and desperate attempts to grab poor countries resources for a pittance sustains that country's unhealthy appetite for speculation on property. Chinese prosperity is the goal of a social elite running a society and economy built on trade with a military behemoth. Its diplomatic playmaking is the senseless gamble of a new 'player' trying to punch above its weight.
The attraction of cheap labour to Western vultures is fading while China embraces the world's greatest arms exporter,Russia. Political factors in world affairs have become more pronounced. (Russia is an aggressive minor potentate these days whose culture and interests are diametrically opposed to those of China).
If China continues with a its gingin course,it will be drawn into wars of predation in Africa and the strong signs are that its clumsy economic diplomacy is stirring the murderous beast of American imperialism.
Draw back from the precipice, governments of the East, and keep your business dealings with Africa and Asia and South America above board,open and transparent.

The China of today is caught in a 1960's time warp of 'outing' fifth columnists, something that threatens to drag it backwards into a 'dizzy with success' type of Trotskyite and Marxist Permanent Revolution syndrome which is part of the same coin as Stalinist ultraleftism. If there was substantial political dissent,it would soon become clear that this bureaucratic turn is a 'wreckers' course. The augurs are not too good for stability. A slow recognition of the fact of Chinese environmental degradation and it's counterpart ,the growing social sclerosis in the West,might lift some of the burden off the shoulders of political modernisers.

The Chinese prefer to have friends rather than enemies. They are gentle souls who like to live in harmony with others.
It must always be stated that THE CHINESE ROAD TO SOCIALISM is much better than Western neo-liberalism and devil-take-the-hindmost conservatism, MUCH BETTER.
Let China pursue its own course be it socialist or free market without interference by imperialist puppets. China is delivering the best economic deal to its citizens its resources and the world economy can provide within reasonable limits.

What we have in China is joint East-West industrial,service and banking partnerships. Nether Eastern government nor Western predator dictates the course of development and economic investment and growth. Chinese industrial progress is based on partnership.
China in itself represents a state monopolist capitalism not a thousand miles away from the Soviet Union or Britain under Callaghan or Germany under Bismarck and Hitler.
Unlike those states,it has a partisan democracy and one which will die soon to give air to the small proprietor such as Fianna Fail represents in Ireland and which Sinn Fein endeavour to represent.

Carping about corruption is only the beginning of the supplanting of the people best understood by a reading of Lenin's writings about the big bourgeoisie as the apparatchiks.
Instability is not desirable but democracy, renewal and change are coming and NOT on the basis of trade union government.
