China's success a mirage

City Journal points out the facts that China desires to be suppressed and hopes that its economic prowess would negate any of its past failings and events that deserve publicity such as the Tiananmen Square massacre on June 4, 1989.

Speaking of China-Taiwan, during yesterday's Yankees-Red Sox game, they did the Talkin Baseball segment between innings in which some of the players would pronunciate their country's version of baseball words such as "strikeout" or "home run."

It was interesting that one of the players was Chinese, and he was definitely from Taiwan when they showed the Taiwanese flag in the upper left corner of the large-screen display. I didn't hear much of a protest or anything about it.
