It really is that stupifyingly simple; and it really is that impossibly complicated.
If you have any interest in the future of China--which is to say your own backyard, wherever on this spinning rock that might be--you have to read this article. [Note: I'm a few days late on this one, so if you know all about it, please accept my apologies and go on about what you're doing and thank you.]
