My world history professor in university waaaay back in 1976 had essentially this same opinion of China ... its like its own planet. It literally doesn't *need* the world though it certainly knows how to siphon off good ideas when it needs them. It has closed the doors before and its leadership I imagine still thinks that is always an option. As for the corporations "invested" in China... I keep waiting for the other half of that "you'll sell us the shovels we'll bury you with".
