When I was a boy I lived in Malaya, which was an English colony. About half the population was Chinese, so I gained some first hand experience with Chinese people. They were our neighbors.
Chinese people are very intelligent, creative, and wise. China had a sophisticated civilization when my ancestors were running around Europe in loincloths. For several centuries they were isolated from the rest of the world by misguided rulers, most recently the Communists. But things have changed. I predict that China will not remain a source of cheap labor, but will soon (well a few decades) be a world leader in technology.
On a recent business trip to Cambridge Mass I walked through the MIT buildings to get to the Coop (store) to buy a calculator. (It was cold and snowing). I thought I had strayed into Peking.
