CBS led off with Gone With the Wind...
...apparently a shift in strategies and priorities. The Chinese are suddenly worried about two key problems: 1) How to pay for the transfusion of technology that will be required? 2) How to absorb it into an economy in which education levels are low, "modern" machinery is out of date, and 70% of the labor force still toils in the fields...
