Hey, but you don't need to keep on asking me how you're doing though - see if you can regulate yourself from now on! :) <BR/><BR/>Annie: A bit of background about Q's comment. He's now making a real effort to improve his blog etiquette, since attempted to mock our host on this thread here - <BR/><BR/>http://bruisefalling.blogspot.com/2008/03/working-for-charidee.html<BR/><BR/>-and when that didn't work, he merely sounded testy. The good news is he's been doing a lot better since then, but I think it's wise of him to desist from making remarks about other's... mainly because, a bit like that 'harmless' beer for a reforming alcoholic, it might be a 'little' thing that sets him off again. <BR/><BR/>Back onto the topic though, I absolutely agree that the 21st century will be the Chinese century. The pragmatism with which they handled the Hong Kong handover showed that they're not going to let a little thing like dogma stop them from becoming the world's major superpower.Cheezyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10176170186766506070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2484626660177622626.post-34748500621044613362008-03-20T18:01:00.000+00:002008-03-20T18:01:00.000+00:00Please do not restrain your opinions on my account...Please do not restrain your opinions on my account, Q!

Unless something unforetold happens, China will be THE super power militarily and economically. In out life time. Only time will tell if the world bends to China, or if China bends to the world. I suppose it will be a bit of both.<BR/><BR/>Q<BR/><BR/>PS - how did I do Cheezy?
