Come to think about it, my previous posting asking why superpower is needed
isn't very constructive.  You did ask for some constructive inputs/suggestions,
I guess my previous posting becomes more or less another flame...

Alright, despite the very little that I know, I figure I will chip in
some ideas for the sake of a meaningful discussion.

Since I know very little, my suggestion might be blatantly obvious to
some netters, or might be completely wrong and irrelevant... but I will
spit it out anyways.. :)

I think China is doing great in education.  Most of the students from
Mainland China that I know of are very well educated, and have a very
analytical mind.  So, I would say improving the educational system doesn't need
to be China's top priority right now.

Improving the economy, however, is very important.  By "improving the economy,"
I dont mean making money for one or two people's benefit.  Rather, to increase
the size of bourgeoisie (sp?).  Countries like Switerland has a huge middle
class... only when most of the people settle down, and not having to worry about
losing their jobs, houses and meals, can this country become strong...

Again, I know very little about politics and economics.  If I said something
wrong, feel free to correct me.  I always welcome meaningful discussions
and constructive criticism.  Personal attack and mindless flame, however,
is restricted to e-mail only.  Thanks.
