Why all this increase in interest in human rights in Tibet now? Just because
it's an olympic year and people want to embarass the chinese and call for
boycotts? The US empire is on the decline. What nation will fill the void
and become the new world empire? When one empire falls another one
inevitably rises. The US filled the void of the declining spanish empire in
the new world. After the decline of the british empire, the US also became a
major economic power. Once the chinese learn to play the capitalism game
well enough they will become the new world economic superpower. Boycott if
you want, millions of people around the world are still going to buy their
cheaper clothes, gadgets and other products. That's globalisation and free
markets. The US and EU are unlikely to call any kind of official boycott. A
lot of chinese financial reserves are in US currency. The chinese can easily
inflict severe damage on the US exchange rate by switching to another
currency. The chinese can boycott also.
Charles.
