International Tribune
The red dragon has entered the temple. The last visit of President Hu Jintao to the White House just proves that all spot light is on China as the next super power contender. How will the world cope with the rapid rise of China in the international arena? With all the talk of China’s rise to superpower stardom, I cannot help not to think about what it really takes to challenge or be the United State’s co-pilot as a super power. This is an important and serious position that requires not only political and economic clout, but everything else. Is China really fit for the job?
