Crisis on the China Rim: An Economic, Crude Oil,
and Military Analysis
"There is a crisis rising on the China Rim, a crisis
made of economic imbalances, energy insecurities, ancient hatreds, and unsettled scores.
The catalyst for this crisis is success itself, the success of the People’s Republic
of China in its de facto rejection of a failed experiment in communism and its
rapid transformation into a thriving market economy. The inseparable companion of this
success, though, is an insatiable hunger and thirst for precious resources... most
important among these, crude oil."
