China debate, Inside the Ring, Washington Times, by Bill Gertz, May 16, 2008
Former Deputy Defense Secretary John Hamre says a “raging” debate is under way in Chinese academic circles over Beijiing’s power and influence and when to declare Beijing a world leader.
Mr. Hamre said one academic cast the debate as “is China going to be the tail of the ox, or the head of rooster?”The former deputy defense secretary is betting China will stay on track to be a rooster head in Asia and “inspirational leader in Africa and South America.” It could be a global power in 40 to 70 years.
