I had the pleasure to speak with Nelson Wong and Alexander Mercouris about the unstoppable rise of China. Wong is the Chairman and Director of ACN Worldwide & President of the Shanghai Centre for RimPac Strategic and International Studies. The purpose of the discussion was to address some common misunderstandings about China, and how China differs from other great powers. The failure of America’s economic coercion and efforts to break China's technological development should have been predictable if there had been a proper understanding of China. Furthermore, if there had been a greater appreciation for the depth of the China-Russia strategic partnership, then the US and its allies would not have wasted their time and political capital attempting to create a split between the two Eurasian giants.
