Light In The East
China took to its furthest extreme the ludicrous view that the problem with the world is that it has people in it, doing human things. No wonder, therefore, that China is proving the first to snap out of it. The Chinese have seen where it ends up. They could yet save the rest of us from needing to see that end point for ourselves. This is an integral part of the re-emergence of the real culture of East Asia from the double darkness of Communism and capitalism. Another, and a no less important, lesson to us all.
