Current China, India, etc. to be Viewed from Spirituality
According to a report a certain Japanese newspaper (The Asahi Shimbun) presented the other day, the US Carlyle Group invested in a Chinese construction-machinery company to purchase 45% of its shares at 180 million dollars.
The initial plan was however to take 85% of the whole stocks. But parties concerned in the industry in China were against the transaction because such a deal would lead to foreign control of the Chinese industry. Therefore, the Carlyle Group made a concession and agreed to take only 45% of the Chinese national company.
The point of the article is a concern on emerging nationalism in Chinese industries.
For example, the newspaper revealed the following figures:
Number of those employed by foreign-capitalized companies in China: 25 millions
Ratio of amounts of tax paid by foreign companies in total Chinese tax revenues: 20%
Ratio of exports by foreign companies in total Chinese exports: 58%
Especially, as for high-tech products, the ratio of exports by foreign companies is 88%.

The newspaper also reported that the Japanese Government has decided to offer 1.6 billion dollar loans to India.

According to some study, in the 16th century, the then four great empires, China, India, Russia, and Turk, accounted for about 63.5% of all the GDPs in the world.
In 2004, the advanced seven countries, the U.S., Japan, Germany, the U.K., France, Italy, and Canada accounted for 63.4% of all the GDPs in the world.

The true issue to focus on is that while the U.S. and the U.K. are vigorously engaged in operations against Iraq and Iran, both combined having 17% of world oil reserves, the emergence of China and India might have far more important implication in the world economy.
China and India have each a unique religious and spiritual background. Iraq and Ira can be treated ultimately in a framework of relationships between Islam, Christianity, and Judaism.
But, conditions of China and India are more complicated. Even the Carlyle Group, a prestigious but controversial investment company, had better first study the history of human spirituality before sinking capital into these countries.
In this context, Japan has been fairly doing well while world economists were soiling Japan and its economy in 1990's. Japan understands China more accurately than any other country in the world does, though the opposite is not necessarily true.

Even to make safe and sound judgment on China and India for near future economic operations, you had better check the history of human spirituality.

Foundations of economic success of Israelites, Indians, and Chinese were set 2500 years ago rather equally.
Another foundation of economic success of Europe was set 2000 years ago.
Potential of Islamic countries, including Turk, Iraq, and Iran, was introduced 1300 years ago.
Success of Japan was consolidated 700 years ago.
Power of the U.S. was boosted up 100 years ago.
Indeed, you had better humbly study the history in which you should find or at least feel God's supervision and choices.
