China
On Morning in America, the focus of the seminar is on China. I have to work out 2 things on order to coherently grapple with my primary dilemma. One is to determine if I am afraid of China. It is a country that has 1/4 of the world's population. If I am afraid, then I am more likely to look at ways to appease China, engage China but not go to the brink of war or beyond with China. If I am afraid of war with them, then I am much more inclined to give economics a chance. I would much prefer to engage China knowing that I am not afraid. Then the engagement is more authentic and not a cover for cowardice.
That said, I look forward to hearing more and then sticking nose in some books on China. My knowledge base is thin. Perhaps Ethan Guttman's Losing the New China will be a start.

A good place to start is The Black China Hand. Best intelligence comes from having a man on the ground, yes?
The Guardian UK has had a long profile within the last couple of months on Chinese society today.
But maybe you're thinking of focusing more on geopolitical stuff.
Noticed today: Inc.'s "How China Will Change Your Business" and Foreign Policy's "Clash of the Titans" (via Interesting People)
