Communism in China? (Score 1)

One thing I did not notice in the paper was the political stability of China facing the demands of a growing middle class. Can China continue it's high wire act of trying to stoke the engine of economic growth while continuing it's political monopoly of one party rule? If China has a political revolution spurred by such economic growth it could throw China and globalization in turn in turnmoil. What happens if such a revolution fails? Perhaps it will not happen. I am somewhat anxious to what the future may hold if a growing economic power such as China is not a free and open society. On a side note, I think it is predictable that people pick out parts of the article and try to advance their political agenda or bias. I have read many of the other threads and they are filled with such verses. The article is not about Bush or war in Iraq but rather much larger macro ecocnomic trends. Why does it always have to degenerate into such bashing?
