Daniel Bell's commentary is amongst the more objective, informed and intelligent analyses that I have read on the Oluympic Games opening ceremony and contrasts sharply with, for example Krushcheva's and Melinda Lui's cliched and intelectually lazy articles.

Perhaps actually livng in Chinese society and working amogst Chinese people helps??

Perhaps knowing about and studying Chinese history, actually living in Chinese society, and working amongst Chinese people helps??

Strange. Not many people seem to have read this article and it seems to have been buried away by Melinda Lui and Newsweek.

I wonder why?

Too intellectually demanding for the average American?

(By the way, I am not only a free-thinking American but also a patriot, in case anyone wondered, although a little reticent about pinning a flag-pin to my lapel, given that patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel, as Samuel Johnson said.)

Only if you stood in front of an American Tank, a Chinese one will stop and rightly so....
