How do we cope with this growth of economic and political clout? While China may have started to throw a bit of its weight around – for example, in its own neighbourhood in pursuit of maritime reach and undersea oil – the main threat that it poses is that the country falls apart, not that it continues to thrive.
但重新崛起的大国并非只有中国一个，此外还有印度和巴西——其中印度人口的总数和年轻人数量将很快超过中国。 面对这些不断成长的经济和政治势力我们又有何对策？ 在中国开始耀武扬威——比方说，追求对周边海域和海底石油控制的同时——这个国家所能带来的最大危害是四分五裂，而不是继续繁荣。
