There was an article in the newspaper the other day about the perceived threat of China to global stability. The gist was that while their power (in economic, military and political terms) is growing, they are less aggressive about achieving that power than they are presented as being. The article also said that there was less chance of a war over Taiwan than anyone imagines, as many governments, the Australians included, concede that Taiwan is naturally a part of China. Go figure; I'm more worried about Indonesia than China.
