By way of preview, I am really starting to think about China in more than my usual fashion. I sense profound changes and problems coming. (Don't worry – remember, I am typically VERY early.) I want to intensify my understanding of China. This is a very good primer on the geopolitical issues in China and a summation of geographical issues, from Stratfor. If you have not read it, I would take some time this weekend. Not the traditional view. And not incidentally, I will be going to Hong Kong in January and China next summer.
