tomcatwarne: That China and India have emerged as drivers of global growth is nothing new. These economies each with one-billion-plus populations are set to grow by over 6% and 8% a year respectively for the near to medium term. China is already an integral part of the global supply chain; India has become a dominant player in outsourcing services.
Participants went beyond conventional wisdom to consider long-term problems for China and India that require innovative solutions, namely the quality and sustainability of growth models, creating jobs, maintaining stability, eradicating corruption and better integrating into the global system.
These issues are closely connected. Better integration with the rest of the world will enable both to achieve more balanced, diversified growth and transform them into more efficient economies, more inclusive societies, and more responsible and responsive members of the international community. Adopting sustainable development policies to promote social equity, a cleaner environment and economic stability will naturally deepen their integration with the global economy. “China cannot achieve development in isolation of the rest of the world, and the world needs China for development,” said China’s Vice-Premier Zeng Peiyan. His statement (webcast) could equally apply to India.
Comparing China and India, however, pits apples against oranges. Yes, they have similarities, but there are even more crucial differences that are widely recognized – the makeup of their economies; depth of integration with global supply chains; share of global trade, notably exports (see Figure 1);
gininitaly: Oh they're fast learners and will unite amongst themselves when push comes to shove... and it will, especially because our Bilderbergs have put production in their hands, which pretty much gives the Chinese control of our profits... then what? Then it will be the battle over those pesky oil pockets that are left.

brothers.
When larger groups are involved, friendship is less prominent than common goals; then sworn brotherhood can come to assume aspects of a religious association, of a common-origin society, of a trade guild, of a credit union, or even of a local government.
This custom raises a host of questions for the student of Chinese society. For example, when such relationships are undertaken by politicians, local or national, they can have effects on the manipulation of political power. Among former schoolmates they can be a force for the vertical integration of society across differences of wealth and social class. When they are undertaken by merchants, they can result in changes in the way in which business is done. Among the poor, they can provide economic shelter in time of financial stress. When they are associated with secret societies, they seem to create serious problems in the maintenance of public order. And so on.
Problem. None of these functions technically requires the idiom of kinship, however. Political alliances, mutual aid societies, and the rest can be organized quite differently. In fact, both in China and elsewhere these functions usually are not phrased in the idiom of sworn brotherhood. If such functions can be adequately accomplished outside the custom of sworn brotherhood, then why should sworn brotherhood exist at all? Why should men who are already friends, colleagues, or comrades find it necessary or desirable to remold that relationship in the idiom of kinship and solidarity in business aginst the foreign devils.
And The Chinese Govt has another advantage - they control the masses. A friend of mine just came back after working there for a number of months and he just could not get used to 5the idea that the workers would be lined up each morning to receive directions on what they were supposed to do for the day - even when they had had this outlined to them many times before
I was actually in Barcelona and Girona last year and with us was a gal from New York who was looking for her ancestral home in Girona... we found it too! Even the place for the Mezzuzot was still there.
