"No chance against China"

"The Google affair tells us much about what China is and what it will be like (...) Facing up to the fact that China is very different from the West, that it simply does not work or think like us, is proving far more difficult. A classic illustration is the West's failure to understand the strength and durability of the Chinese state (...) it is seen by the Chinese not as an alien presence to be constantly pruned back, as in the West, especially the U.S., but as the embodiment and guardian of society (...) Chinese modernity will not resemble Western modernity, and a world dominated by China will not resemble our own. (...) In this new world, Chinese ways of thinking - from Confucian values and their notion of the state to the family and parenting - will become increasingly influential.", Martin Jacques em "No chance against China", publicado na edição de 25/01 da Newsweek.
