	The China syndrome - The Boston Globe
		None of this is to deny that China's economy is expanding rapidly, with annual GDP growth of 8 to 9 percent, according to official figures.
		China's foreign policy seeks to maximize stability at home (for example, by keeping the status quo across Xinjiang's borders with Central Asia) and sustain China's impressive economic growth (for example, by safeguarding the huge US market).
		Overall, China may not be the new colossus it appears to its self-made foes or to distant lotus-eaters.

	A New China Syndrome: Beijing's Atomic Bazaar
		China's trade surplus with the United States jumped from $ 3.5 billion in 1988 to $ 10.4 billion in 1989, the largest U.S. trade deficit after Japan and Taiwan.
		China sold the heavy water with no strings attached, allowing India for the first time to start a reactor entirely free of international controls -- meaning that the reactor's plutonium would be free to go into atomic bombs.
		China also agreed with Brazil in 1985 to help with liquid fuel technology and missile guidance in return for solid fuel rocket technology.

		China's stockpile of Treasuries ($235 billion at the end of April) already equals almost 12% of all U.S. debt in foreign hands, and is growing nearly twice as fast as the global total.
		And unlike Japan, nearly all of China's Treasury holdings are in the hands of the Chinese government.
		It could be -- and frequently is -- argued that China is now too deeply embedded in the global capitalist system to risk either war or a financial showdown with the United States.

	TIFF Education Foundation: China Syndrome
		Indeed, until China's political infrastructure changes as materially as the physical landscapes of its coastal cities have changed since Deng Xiao Ping began letting capitalist flowers bloom some 25 years ago, investing directly in China could be hazardous to an endowment's health.
		Its recent heady gains notwithstanding, China remains a nation characterized not by the rule of law but rather by the rule of men, with no independent legal profession or judiciary to prevent the ruling party from punishing if not liquidating persons who disagree with it.
		China's citzenry can't do this at present, due to the communists' tight grip on Chinese politics, and a study of Chinese history suggests that the Communist Party's current and future leaders are very unlikely to relax their grip without considerable damage to the Chinese economy, if not also considerable bloodshed.

	The China Syndrome - New York Times
		What attracted the firm's leaders to China is an openness to audacious projects, which they attribute to the lack of timidity and inhibition in the people there.
		Everywhere in the world, not only in China, the struggle to realize a design is vulnerable to forces outside the architect's reach: the budget shrinks, the program changes, the financing collapses, the building code alters, the client reneges.
		China is the land of disillusionment, not only of dreams.

		The Bush administration said Monday that China's threat to use force to stop any Taiwanese move toward independence is an "unfortunate" development that could increase tensions in the region.
		This precarious position of supporting both a one-China policy and an independent Taiwan is why the administration so worships the status quo and "stability." When Taiwan last made moves for independence, the Bush administration came down against Taiwan (as we covered in this cartoon).

	The China Syndrome - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The China Syndrome is a 1979 thriller film which tells the story of a reporter and cameramen who discover safety coverups at a nuclear power plant.
		However, the sabotage unintentionally causes a partial chain reaction where parts of the reactor break apart, threatening a meltdown and "the China Syndrome".
		According to American Movie Classics' 2006 series "Movies That Shook the World", the Three Mile Island incident did not help "The China Syndrome" at the box office, because the producers did their best to avoid making it look like they were trying to cash in on the event, including pulling the movie from some theaters.

	Why the Pentagon keeps overestimating the Chinese army. By Fred Kaplan - Slate Magazine
		China officially says it's spending $35 billion on its military, a 14.7 percent increase over last year's budget, amounting to 1.5 percent of its gross national product.
		The report states: "In the near term, China's military buildup appears focused on preparing for Taiwan Strait contingencies, including the possibility of U.S. intervention." It claims that in the long term, the Chinese aim to widen their area of military control throughout Asia.
		China does not yet possess the military capability to accomplish with confidence its political objectives on the island [Taiwan], particularly when confronted with outside intervention.

		Syndrome wasn't about planes or ships or buildings, but about nuclear power, and that was something everyone was talking about when I was a kid.
		As the rest of the movie unfolds, that piece of film becomes the lynchpin of a complex set of motivations involving the TV station, the reporter, the cameraman, the power plant owners and the plant chief.
		While the film was released on DVD some years ago, now there's a new edition that includes a lengthy and fascinating look behind the scenes at the film's genesis, its production and the effect it had on its stars' careers and the nation in general.

		He shows that China does not conform to this, or other, theories that overlook crucial features of China's economic development and political system, especially the incentives and motives driving the leaders of its one-party political monopoly.
		Pei, a political scientist who directs the China program at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, does not dispute the significance of China's dramatic post-Mao development, including rapid economic growth, greater access to information and personal mobility, the decline in the state role of the economy, and its integration into the global economy.
		Pei's attention to the attitudes of China's rulers is important, given the general disregard for their thinking and behavior in American and European debates about China policy.

		China emerged as America's prime antagonist after the end of the cold war.
		It was said to be a clandestine plan by China to influence US policy; the charge was not substantiated, but Asian-American contributors to the Democratic Party were investigated by the FBI for possible involvement in traitorous activities, and suspicions of disloyalty among Chinese-Americans lingered.
		It was initiated by an intelligence report that in 1992 China had tested a bomb very much like the Los Alamos-designed W-88, considered one of the smallest and most highly optimized nuclear weapons in the world.

		China is, despite its hoard of foreign exchange, a capital short country.

		The problem with the aforementioned analogy with China is that this is NOT America's "first contact" with China, so to discuss the Googol controversy as if it were is ludicrously ahistorical.
		China is currently building a "Panama Canal" across Thailand so its fleet of ships don't have to surcumvent the Maylay peninsula and building "12 String of Pearls" ports with airfields large enough to support long range military aircraft through its shipping lanes to the Middle East and Africa.

		Higher education policy is being driven by the assumption that to compete in the global economy, especially against burgeoning powerhouses like China, the United States will need a lot more college graduates.
		Ironically, China itself illustrates the pitfalls of having the government set education policies based on predictions for the future.
		But as China itself has shown, the only thing we can predict with any reliability is that the government’s predictions will almost certainly be wrong.

	THE CINEMA LASER DVD REVIEW-- THE CHINA SYNDROME
		Just twelve days after the film's theatrical release, the message of THE CHINA SYNDROME took on even more importance, because the accident depicted in the film was shockingly similar to the real life events that took place at the Three Mile Island nuclear facility.
		The China Syndrome of the film's title refers to what would happen if the cooling system in a nuclear reactor failed and the core material became dangerously superheated.
		THE CHINA SYNDROME was made on the cusp of the Dolby Surround era, so the Dolby Digital monaural soundtrack, while clean and accurate, isn't overly involving.

	China Syndrome - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		China syndrome refers to an extreme result of a nuclear meltdown in which the molten reactor core products breach the barriers below them and flow downwards out of containment.
		The phrase arises from the humorously exaggerated and incorrect notion that molten reactor material would burrow from the United States through the center of the earth and emerge in China, as popularized by the 1979 film, The China Syndrome.
		In reality, a melting reactor is estimated to be able to sink at most 15 meters; if the radioactive slag reaches the water table beneath the reactor building, the enormous steam release could throw the radioactive material into the air.

		Whether the China impact will be positive or negative in the long run depends on a country's ability to keep up the innovation gap.
		Despite the current debate in the United States, most of the fallout, positive and negative, from China's economic expansion will be in countries that are close to China in geography and in skills.
