in that direction in the next few days. This is an idea that will free China
from those unnecessary fears and enable it to abandon these classic poli-
cies of state. Because in classic state policy whatever you do there is
somewhere of benefit to you and you go and invade it. You crush the
inhabitants and live there yourself. But there is no need to suck blood in
