Very serious political / military developments are increasingly affecting the stability of the world economy and the ability of world leaders to lead forward with solutions peacefully.
A world shaken by uncertainty shows how more unstable it could become were China to see itself threatened by unwilling neighbours to its justifying encroachments as orderly trade and investment relations enter crisis mode.
This all happens alongside a rapidly deteriorating domestic environment, smog / flooding and a greater danger of collapsing into a sea of debt as its housing bubble threatens to burst. A communist mentality within a capitalist economy may ultimately not work for China nor Russia. Something may have to give, but what? Will China ride the stormy seas ahead?
Will the modern Chinese experiment fail spectacularly as did the Maoist. Is there a fundamental positive difference that distinguishes the new China? Or, are the habits of old political methods taking a dangerous path to self destruction of both Russia and China.
Don't rush your best ideas. Grow them....
