It's a start

OPINION: Advancing Sino-U.S. Energy Cooperation Amid Oil Price Hikes, By Richard Weixing Hu, Brookings, March 22, 2008

It's always fascinating to me how these things typically start with simple cooperation over energy. Read and learn how to speak in inevitabilities instead of mere possibilities.

Dear Nostradamus,

This was a very good article but I did not see where they gave you any credit for your preditable and correct vision of the future of Sino-American relations. But it reinforces why some dubbed you the Nostradamus of the Navy :-) Very good article and post, thanks!

It is even more interesting to me that DOD, for years, has been defining user requirements and field testing very cutting edge energy modernization technologies, and then our national policy on energy permitted us to share them with China .... even though they also have significant military implications.

I think both initiatives are correct, but I remain amazed that they remain unnoticed by our political and general media establishments. Another: 'Something's afoot, Watson."

Good Point Mr. Heberlein,

Plenty of "Gotcha" fodder there for the media and political watch dog gurus, if they had a single brain cell or investigative reporter remaining ...

He isn't Nostradamus so much as Hari Seldon (unless he predicted the end of the world when I wasn't looking . . .).

For those of you who don't get the reference, add Isaac Asimov's FOUNDATION series to your pleasure reading stack.
