Amrika championed the doctrine of free trade when it suited Amreeki interests, now that mighty Cheen tiger is waking up again, Amrika is quaking in its boots.

In reply to Sumit. I probably should make a post about my quick thoughts on yesterday’s lecture

“China 1978 – 90% of Chinese lived below extreme poverty (less than 2USD a day).

Today (2014) that figure is 1%! 0 by 2020 / 800mn people have seen their lives lifted up out of abject poverty.”

This is really incredible. Brownistani countries need to figure out how to follow suit.

In reply to Milan Todorovic. Thank you; I feel the live blogging (like so many of my podcasts) May have some intellectual heft but are not necessarily *popular* Milan I thought we are all Serbs?

Good overview and very appropriate for the current political moment. Just a side comment – it is almost unknown that Thucydides was a Thracian i.e. ethically Serb. Although Athenian his sympathies in this war were on Spartan side. This needs longer elaboration, maybe some other time, momentarily just trespassing and sending regards to Lithuanian guy/girl.

In reply to Mitchell Porter. Yes the discussion afterward centred on that; apparently relations between China & Russia are very strong. The “Eurasian axis.” I see echoes of land power versus sea power re-emerging.

The Song-Liao entente sounds more relevant to the relationship between China and Russia, than the relationship between China and America.
