What do I think about Red China? Looks fabulous on a white, satin tablecloth!

For more serious thoughts about China (in particular, its trade relationship with the 
United States), please check out [my interview](http://english.people.com.cn/200704/16/eng20070416_366858.html) with *People’s Daily*, a large Chinese newspaper. Morgan Stanley Chief Economist Stephen Roach was asked the same questions. His responses can be found [here](http://english.people.com.cn/200704/16/eng20070416_366857.html).
