This version 2.0 is drafted on Deb.19, 2012 after receiving warm comments from China, Europe, and the US. I found a big mistake when I read Obama’s Nobel Peace Speech AFTER I wrote the version 1.0. I was shocked that Obama did not promise to reduce the risk of American led-war, but to expand it in three new ways. In his speech, Obama did not acknowledge any mistakes America made in the Vietnam War and the Iraq War. Instead, he justified the failed Vietnam War by China’s successful reform in last three decades. He also justified the US-led war in Afghanistan that was supported by Norway, since Nobel Peace Prize is selected by the committee members appointed by the Norwegian Parliament. I added the APPENDIX II here for reader’s awareness.

Factoring in all the data, and realistic situations from both countries, we cannot simply apply a fix exchange rate to measure standard of living. Those who work in the service sector in the U.S. don’t necessarily enjoy a similar standard of living compared to those working in Foxconn in Chengdu.

As a China expert, Prof. Shambaugh at Georgetown University certainly knows the minimum international curtsey for high level exchanges. But it is not this time for me or even the New York Time editors to dwell on this issue. As a Chinese saying goes“It is impolite not to reciprocate, I would like to raise ten questions here in the similar tune of David Shambaugh.

It is indeed a commonly held faith in America that democracy is a good in itself and the more democratic the better. Is there a politician in America who would dare say otherwise? Western democracy is inherently incapable of becoming less democratic even when its survival may depend on such a shift.

Now the Hong Kong people are in an unenviable quandary: give up on a narrative that has been baked into their self-identity to protect the actual welfare of their society, or hold high that ideological banner and risk their way of life. To do both would be hypocrisy of the highest order.

Many people believe the Western democracy is superior to a one-party system because the rotation of political power gives government the flexibility to make needed policy changes. But China’s one-party system has proven over time to be remarkably adaptable to changing times.

Only by staying the course of “socialism with Chinese characteristics” can China’s development lead to ever enhanced liberty and prosperity for the Chinese people, and its ascendancy lead to a largely peaceful and responsible power on the global stage.

China's politically-stifled intelligentsia has painted the recent train accident as a symbol of the Communist Party's failings, warning against the perils of rapid economic growth. But these Internet-wielding elite are venting personal frustration, not voicing the will of the Chinese people.

Opposition to the Chinese Communist Party’s rule is actually coming from the left, with cries that the party has forgotten the masses and coddled the elite. Can the party co-opt this nationalist fervor to remake itself – and all of political science?

Can globalization continue? Does the world face a future of cooperation or conflicts? The answer lies in whether the world can smoothly switch the operating system of globalization from 1.0 to 2.0. It is not as easy as going from Windows to Mac. The world watches with anxiety.

Economic geography has created two Chinas: the prosperous coast and the undeveloped interior. China's future depends on whether it can reconcile this gap between the haves and have-nots. The city-province of Chongqing provides a model for equitable urbanization.

if America insists on extending its century ownership from the 20th to the 21st? China’s response seems to be: Keep it.
