quote: Nonetheless, the least plausible scenario is that China, guided serenely by the calm wisdom of the ruling party, takes its place in the ranks of the fully developed nations, and even at the very top tier alongside the U.S., without at least one serious economic or political setback. And as for America’s supposedly inexorable decline, the announcement last week that the Chinese and Russian militaries will cooperate much more closely to counter U.S. influence is a useful reality check. In briefing rooms in Beijing and Moscow, officials are still all too driven by fear of the U.S., the great power whose time, they say, has been and gone. end quote thediplomat/2014/12/chinas-economy-dont-bet-on-beijing/
