The Bush Doctrine and the Rise of China

Posted by Matt in April 30th, 2007

After the 9/11 attacks, China pledged to play a constructive role in international counterterrorism efforts and the Bush administration pledged to pretend that the Chinese were doing so; this was perhaps the first indicator of how the administration’s strong focus on terrorism distorted overall strategy-making. Not surprisingly, relations gradually improved as the United States and China agreed on the need to cooperate on a number of security issues of mutual concern. Bush also reached out to the Chinese leadership, visiting China in February 2002 and hosting then-president Jiang Zemin at his Crawford, Texas, ranch later that year. The high-level meetings continued, culminating in President Hu Jintao’s April 2006 visit to Washington.

	Welcome to China China has one of the world's oldest people and continuous civilizations, consisting of states and cultures dating back more than six millennia. It has the world's longest continuously used written language system, and is the source of such major inventions as what the British scholar and biochemist Joseph Needham called the "four great inventions of Ancient China": paper, the compass, gunpowder, and printing. Historically China's cultural sphere has been very influential in East Asia as a whole, with Chinese religion, customs, and writing system being adopted, to varying degrees, by its neighbors Japan, Korea, and Vietnam. ======== Beijingboy1985's E-mail: hsiaowei.sun@gmail.com Tags: Beijing, China, Chinese, city, Forbidden, Greatwall, Kungfu, Palace, Peking, Places, Shaolin, Summer, Travel, visit, 中国, 中國, 台湾, 台灣

	African China The Evolution of African China Far from being the obvious, since launching himself into the mainstream music world about two years ago, Chinagoro, a.k.a African China, may have stood out as a dependable, yet emerging social crusader of great reckoning. With his name almost becoming a house-hold name in many homes across Africa, African China parades a talent, very prodigious and could be described as "rare and different from what Ojo would refer to above as 'playing the music of destructive values." While storming the music scene with an uncommon tempo, Chinagoro recreates with his craft, the images of reggae singers of yesteryears. With the unceremonious exit of the likes of Majek Fashek, Ras Kimono and The Mandators, all Nigeria's past leading reggae singers, Chinagoro's entrance into...
