Last night I watched two TED talks on China, one on the political activism and artistic agenda of Ai Weiwei, the other, Martin Jacques's summary of his book When China Rules the World.
China is a place where freedom of expression is severely limited; China seems set to be the world's largest economy within 10-20 years; how do these two propositions add up?
Update and note: my sense of Jacques's presentation is much the same as in the Telegraph review by Adrian Michaels: "...the book’s general thrust is undoubtably correct," even if not all of his individual propositions are.
