Person: Thank you very much for your comments, I was In China first time in 2004 and then six times since then and lived there for six months and I’ve seen tremendous changes in the country itself. And one of the changes is a very dynamic emerging middle class of young people who are better dressed, look better, both are working. Want those products that we have, and that’s one of the reasons [IB] increase in resource prices in the world. And also their looking seems to me also to be more open, and we saw the problem with Google [IB] seems to be solving some cases. So it’s changing. Or do you think that the changes in china perhaps more open [IB] naive [IB] will reduce the suspicion the countries around china have of what the country really represents. If there will be eventually a change so maybe more open society, will open over there [IB] I feel that’s also changing. The other thing I wanted to mention, China itself has tremendous problems, I mean just mind bothering problems, the huge population, the Asian population, the one child population certainly will [IB] difficulties later in labor among other things. And so they’ve got major concerns over there and maybe that’s why… because they are [IB] looking as well. So maybe they want. People ask me, will china maybe overtake the United States? Well we just saw an economic, some report china is now the second largest economy in the world. But no one mentions the next sentence [IB] is $3000, [IB] in this country $ 40,000. 10, 12 times more. So it’s not [IB] my lifetime [IB] but anyway that’s my comment

Dr. Sutter: Thank you, that’s a very good comment, on the internal problems you notice my analysis doesn’t rely on internal dynamics because its subject is such wide different interpretations and the data isn’t so good. It’s very hard to…you can make projections [IB] but I look at the data that I can measure very well and tends to be in the international [round] and that I can collaborate and so forth, it’s more sound, but I think your points are very well taken, a lot of people say that, I tend to agree but I don’t know for sure on those things. On the openness this is a mixed bag, it seems to me. Because the Chinese people are pretty nationalistic, young and old. If china were open about what it wanted, that way, what do this young people want? Talk to them. A lot of them want something that might be a little scary to countries in the region, you see what I mean. A lot of them tend to push an assertive position, and the agent of control of the central administration and so forth is actually a [calming] force in international affairs. And so I’m not sure that would work if you see what I mean. I don’t know, but if you look at. What’s the manifestation of this, the anti Japanese demonstrations of 2005, who organized that? Who were the people that did that? It was not government sponsored, who did that? It was this middle class you were talking about. They burnt Japanese cars; they did all sorts of disruptive things. So I’m not sure it’s going to work that way, the way you are saying. I just don’t know, I think that’s… openness if you have big disputes and you are open about them, then you say, “My gosh we’re going to have big disputes,” and how do you resolve them it’s tough. So I just have a mixed reaction to your first question.

Interviewer: Okay no more questions. One more question.

Person: If you will please expand your comments and insight to china’s relationships with two of its neighbors, one North Korea, particularly with relation to Kim Jong Yu’s recent visit and secondly to Afghanistan, I’m not as clear as I should be of china’s support or lack thereof for American activities in Afghanistan.
