讀書有感

最近讀了一位英國商人寫的書, 感到其中有一段話非常有意思, 值得深思...

We live in a monopolar world. But this state can't las forever. The key globle power balance in the next hundred years will propably be between the USA and China. The Americans and the Chinese have a lot of move in common than they think. Acutely aware of their current disadvantage, many Chinese have conscously gone out to educate themselves about America. Their conclusions tend to be balanced and favorable. But so far, not so many Americans have shown an interest in China or made much effort to understand it.

As the effects of the steadly migration of jobs and manufacturing across the Pacific to China start to hurt Middle America, a slow realization is dawing that Washington is going to have to deal with Beijing incresingly as an equal over the coming decades. I hope ther might be a shortcut in the process of misunderstanding, conflict, and reconciliation that I have described here. If these two great peoples can develop a relationship underpinned by their similarities and where differentes are respected and enjoyed, it would be a source of great hope for everyone.
