Peace Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 This sort of thing remains the dark specter in China's rise. The government there repressing freedom of speech and religion. Trying to stop internet access to Nobel sites. Creating a new alternate peace prize (the recipient didn't even accept it). If the central planners aren't careful, there's a stew of repression and wealth growing that will not mix. Not to minimize our problems, but I'd rather have our problems than theirs.
