    Comment: I'm happy to see that the authors, particularly Melinda Liu, are finally seeing what I have been noticing, and reporting to my friends, for the past five and a half years: China's leaders are brilliant and are working to build a government that is competent and caring.

    Of course, they're not 'there' yet, but who is?


    horsham is correct, Japan - like most countries - was and probably still is downplaying her atrocious behavior during WWII.

    Comment: "Tokyo's perceived attempts to whitewash Japanese aggression". "perceived"?? So the Japanese government did not whitewash their war-time crimes? Their heads of government did not pay repeated visits to their war criminals? The Chinese were just delusional and self-deceiving and being stupid?

    I don't think there is real motivation for the Chinese to beat the dead horse of history. But when the Japanese acted with impunity regarding historical facts, there were tauting their victims for a response. And the Chinese did give them just that. The Western press, yes, that includes Newsweek, should be a little fair minded when they approach a subject like this. Otherwise, whatever else you say will just be tinted.

      Comment: Good article. Even Milanda can also contribute to a good report.

Isn't it ironic: Xerox is hoping it can profit by teaching companies how to reduce their printing.
