This will be my last blog entry. I have enjoyed "Charting China" with frequent posts. I would like to end on a positive note:
The CIA Director, Michael Hayden, stated in a speech last week at the Kansas State University, that China is not an "inevitable enemy" to the US. However, its increasing population and new found status as an economic power present challenges.
Hayden feels the growing Chinese military is all for show and not for real use. He stressed, "if Beijing begins to accept greater responsibility for the health of the international system - as all global powers should - we will remain on a constructive, even if competitive path".
Here's to a peace and prosperity to all parties.

Hey Angie, my plate was too full this semester to comment on blogs as much as I would have liked, but it's been on my to-do list to make sure I told you that your blog was OUTSTANDING! By far the best in class and a true joy to read! There were some other good ones, but yours was over the top! Fab job, thank you!
I second Jenny's remarks, Angie. I was hoping you would continue to blog after the class. See you in Biorhythms...le
