For Xi, a 'China Dream' of Military Power
Keywords:
It is not clear how China's president Jinping's support for the idea of "China Dream," -of China as a world power on a level with the U.S.- should be interpreted. China will increase its defense budget and continue its efforts to be the dominant power in its region, even as the U.S. and Japan begin to build closer ties in the Pacific. Is it simply a new assertiveness for its rights in relation to territorial disputes with Japan, and a continuation of a policy of peaceful development of earlier leaders. The move could also be an effort to build close ties with the military as the new leadership of Jinping-Keqiang prepares to make major changes in the economy. A speech in Dec. 2012 to Communist party officials in Guangdong province by Jinping, on how the lack of unity with the military led to the collapse of the Soviet Union under Gorbachev, could throw light on the thinking. In a few days an old party was gone, as he put it. This also follows the Bo Xilai episode which involved contacts with the military and the risks of division in the military and political leadership.

Jinping promotes the idea of "China Dream," and China as a world power on a level with the U.S. It is not clear if this is a part of an effort to have secure relations with the military and the China Military Commission as the new leadership of Jinping and Keqiang move to make major social and economic policy changes, or simply an effort to continue peaceful development with a new assertiveness about China's rights in territorial disputes with Japan, or both.

Robert Kagan and other experts on why the world of liberal democracy and free trade that we live in is based on America as the dominant power
02/10/2012
With the building of America as the dominant power will go the scaffolding of liberal democracy and free trade, says Kagan. The decline or collapse of America as the dominant power being repaced by a multipolar world of different powers, with no one to champion liberal democracy and free trade, will likely lead to the situation of conflicts seen in the 19th and 20th century leading to World War I. Today's other democracies - India, Brazil, Turkey, S. Africa and Australia - won't have the capacity to exercize such leadership, and India could end up in rivalry with China. A serious problem for the view that liberal democracy and free trade will just happen is that the educational systems and instiutions of China, India, do not have the depth and experience that is needed to provide the leadership required to champion democracy and free trade.

New York Times 02/14/2013
We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
