According to even the most conservative estimates, China will overtake the United States as the world's largest economy by 2027 and will ascend to the position of world economic leader by 2050. But the full repercussions of China's ascendancy-for itself and the rest of the globe-have been surprisingly little explained or understood.

It was intriguing to learn about the political, economic and cultural processes involved in the development of China and of the changing status in the world compared to that of the USA. It amazes me the extent to which China has become the largest producer of goods consumed in our country and the extent to which they depend on us to buy their products. Their investment in our nation in money, students, real estate, tourism et al in my opinion will help promote a strong mutually beneficial relationship that can overcome political differences and efforts by some American zealots who see China mainly as a threat to our security. With the Russians we maintained peace with the threat of mutual destruction until the collapse of the USSR. With China, I think our economic inter-dependency provides a more durable cement for peaceful coexistence. We both have more to lose than to gain in pursuing military solutions to resolve our many differences. Our Nation is still young and although sputtering politically, is not going anywhere and I am confident, will regain her footing. This is important because the nation civilization of China and the rest of the world will need to work in better harmony to overcome the severe challenges resulting from everyone’s industrialization.

Food for my soul

Listening to Father G’s words showing full acceptance and loving tenderness to the homies who had suffered so much provided me with beacon of light on how to engage with humanity. Our politically correct world full of stress and instant judgment distracts from seeing the inherent value in others, especially those who have suffered more than me. I am a recovering Catholic with strong Buddhist leanings, and I have to say Father G has helped renew my appreciation of Jesus and his example.
Tattoos Of The Heart made me cry, this book helped me reconnect. We will see where Preaching To The Choir leads me.
