China Rising

I know I tend to go on about it, but I do find China's Rise so remarkable. Sure it's been accellerated in the past few years, relatively, simply due to the various financial collapsing dominoes in the West... but then you can't blame China for being wise and financially conservative, and careful. This is hardly a sign of aggression; it is in fact a sign of thwe opposite...a certain stoic and steady track forward.
What I see with China Rising is the most remarkable arrival of Dominant Culture, outstripping in size and power and impact everything that has come before, including the Romans, British, American empires. The Chinese 'Empire' is travelling faster and investing more in its own future, in its infrastructure, in its people, industries, education, etc and in its relationships, especially with its 16 border neighbours, than any power on Earth has ever done.
Whilst being a significant player within Globalisation, per se, it is also the leading and only Alternate to the US-Euro Globalisation 'system' and will outstrip it as time goes by.
The China Model, the Walled World Model, will dominate as time goes by and without invading and blowing up and pillaging other sovereign nations and in this way alone is a far superior model for human growth and development than any we have seen on Earth to date.
Also what is rising is not Chinese Communism at all...what is rising is Confucianism, as a thought-action discipline and as a social-system, for the first time outside the mainland.
I think the impact of both Zhonguo's Rise and the Rise of Confucianism, world wide, will provide the largest change to all human systems on Earth and will have a much greater impact and last far longer than any before it.
I think that we do live in remarkable times, to witness this unstoppable rise. It will be mostly beneficial to China, of course, as it should be; at the same time, we, on the fringe of this massive change, will do well enough to trade fairly and peacefully.
