Just as encouraging regime change in the Middle East may not have happy outcomes, so a lack of understanding for Chinese history could prove tragic. From the viewpoint of the Chinese people, the story of Taiwan and China is not about democracy vs. nondemocracy, as it is in the stereotypical U.S. world view.

The level of economic inequality that currently exists is without historical precedent, and it is certainly within reason that, if the condition of the three billion people that subsist on less than two dollars a day fails to improve, our cherished international free market system could prove untenable. Many times have our forbearers presumed they had seen history’s violent spasms come to an end. It would benefit us greatly not to repeat their mistake...
