A different kind of dream

EVEN before Xi Jinping’s began his dreamy sloganeering in earnest , the notion of a “China dream” or a “Chinese dream” was bobbing along the surface of the oceanic conversation about what China is today, where it is going, and so on.

...press conference a senior official repudiated the suggestion from one Japanese reporter that the move signalled an “aggressive” foreign policy.

...The plan was rejected, "because the order was to catch him alive”, the paper claimed, quoting the director of the anti-drug bureau in China’s Ministry of Public Security. An American expert on unmanned aircraft told the New York Times that China is not yet “ready for prime time using armed drones” and may still lack confidence in its drones, operators and control systems. But the expert, Dennis Gormley of the University of Pittsburgh, predicted this could change with “a few more years of determined practice”. When that time comes, he added, the Chinese "surely will have America’s armed drone practice as a convenient cover for legitimating their own practice.” (Picture credit: AFP photo/CCTV) "

...China's trade, on the other hand, amounted to $3.87 trillion. For a country that had once embraced communist " self-reliance ", this was another striking milestone in its economic transformation. China's ministry of commerce, however, felt this mile had been mismeasured. On February 14th, a ministry official told the China Daily , a Chinese newspaper, that his country's trade still lagged America's. The United States commerce department, the official explained, "released two sets of figures for U S trade last year: $3.82 trillion based on the country's international balance of payments, and $3.882 trillion based on a measurement similar to that used by the World Trade Organisation." According to the second figure, America's trade in goods still exceeded China's. The official's comments left me befuddled. It is true that America has two different methods of counting trade. The first method, known as the "census" method, counts the goods that cross the border. The second method, called the "balance-of-payments" approach, is subtly different. It counts the goods that pass into and out of foreign hands. But by neither of these methods was America's goods trade greater than China's. The balance-of-payments method valued America's trade at $3.86 trillion (not $3.82 trillion as the Chinese official said). The census method, on the other hand, valued it at $3.82 trillion. As for the WTO, as far as I understood it, it also counted the goods that cross a country's border, somewhat similar to America's "census" method."
