I’m filing this under “politics” even though it belongs into a variety of different categories. “Made in China” is a fascinating set of articles written by John Schmid and Rick Romell about China’s economic boom and interation with the West, and what that has meant so far for both the West and China (part 1, part 2, part 3, part 4 - if you’re not registered check out this page). Needless to say, there are still many details missing - if you start reading about China’s environmental problems (which, btw, are turning rapdily into the world’s), your stomach starts turning.
