Made in China: Your Job, Your Future, Your Fortune
http://abcnews.go.com/GMA/print?id=1142148

excerpt:

As the economic picture in China transforms, so does the cultural landscape.

An old military factory that used to turn out uniforms, is now producing the Chinese edition of Seventeen magazine for a generation that relates to American values.

"They believe in self-expression," said Huang Hung, chief executive officer of China Interactive Media group. "They believe in individuality. They believe in pursuit of happiness for themselves."

At a trendy nightclub in Shanghai, the DJ who used to buy his favorite music on the black market growing up, now makes a living spinning hip hop above packed dance floors.

Slowly, the American Dream is becoming the Chinese Dream, but not everyone is comfortable with the transformation.

"We are dealing with a takeover attempt by the most powerful communist dictatorship in the world," James Woolsey, former director of the CIA, recently told Congress.

hmmmm.... James Woolsey - PNACer ex-CIA ....

1. Heh...'takeover attempt'
China is now moving towards being a fully capitalist country, and joining the rest of the world in trade and travel. Exactly what the US has wanted all these years.

Suddenly, it's a threat? Hilarious.

3. My favorite food . . .
China is demonstrating that capitalism does not inevitably lead to democracy.

Some of us already knew that, but the claim has been repeated ad nauseam by America for decades.

4. China said they would do the opposite to Russia
Russia freed up government first....and the economy crashed.

China said it would free up the economy first, and then government.

So far, the Chinese seem to have had the better idea.
