Acropolis Review has previously highlighted the quietly rising power of the People's Republic of China. The power of China will come to bear in the council of nations in new, challenging ways in the next American presidency. The next American president must be prepared to leverage American power and values to deal constructively with these economic, legal and human rights challenges. Thanks go to one of AR's supporters for pointing out that David Mixner helpfully highlights an important report in the Economist covering the emergence of what has been dubbed China's "resource diplomacy".

Michael Copps is working on this fundamental problem.
Free Press is also working on this problem, and
Free Press needs the support of not thousands but millions of Americans.CHINA'S QUEST FOR RESOURCES
