Tom,

Just read your article about China's economic rise imitating America's -- and the differences. I'm a foreign professor at Tsinghua University in Beijing, where I teach an MBA course on American business history (as well as other courses on U.S. politics and business in the present day). The whole thrust of that course is identifying the parallels between developments in the U.S. then and China today. I particularly liked the quote from "Theodore Rex" and will have to share it with my class.

You might be interested in checking out my blog on China-related issues -- and similar topics, including my recent trip to North Korea -- at http://chovanec.wordpress.com.
