The Eagle and the Dragon

It's not often that I read a very well written newspaper article, but this one in The Telegraph comes highly recommeded by me.
The story is about China and America and many of the themes will be familiar, but what sets it apart is the sense of awe that the author imparts on you the reader. Combine that with some excellent photography and you almost want to jump on the plane and see for yourself. Having visited China several times I can testify to many of the things that are in the article, but reading through reminded me of why we in the Western world have a lot to learn from our Eastern cousins.
A little warning though, it's quite a long article so don't expect a quick dash through.

Thanks for highlighting it.
