I’ve heard it said before that if you live long enough you’ll get to see and hear all kinds of wild things. Today it was delivered to me via The Peking Duck here. It gave a link to a Forbes article here by Shaun Rein.
Despite having a wonderful 5,000-year history, China is in many ways like a teenage boy. It has just gotten its seat at the adults’ table and is trying to learn how to deal with other nations as not just a fellow G20 member but as a superpower.
Mr. Rein a frequent China apologist/cheerleader outdid himself on the reality disconnect time/space continuum today when he tried to claim how well China was doing on the open society score but slips up with the occasional gaff due to their adolescent male temperament. In fact I think Rein feels he served China well by stating that. I wonder if I can get a job at Forbes writing that kind of pulp fiction?
