to a point about china, a question about china and a point about china and the united states. i think a fascinating question and a crucial question for china, one that really is the one that lies behind this book would even beyond the importance of this book, it's important for china too which is whether china is ever going to be something different from what it is. here is what i mean. if you look back over 30 years in china you see places on recognizably different in countless ways. i was first there in the mid-1980s when my family and circumstances that i will tell you about if you ask, it was a very different place. we went around places and we had to get visas to get in there. now of course it is different, but it is different in a way that some chinese people think is reaching a limit, that the development model based on its low-wage factories where they make the ipad i hold in my hand that cost $500 only $50 in china come is that the formula for them to get rich in in the long-run? it's one thing to assemble products for apple in a different thing to have your own apple

now there is fear of china. how does that compare -- how does that compare now, and secondly, is the fear and worry a good response? >> thing about japan, let me say something about that and i think two of the most interesting countries i have been in a japan and china. there are obviously some similarities in terms of their look and feel and operations. being in japan was like living inside a watch where everything is so tightly machine, you admire the precision. there is not a lot of extra room for you. where is china is living in a giant rugby scrum. i still think that the japanese were actually more threatening to the united states and china. you have these head-to-head national champions. yet toshiba and toyota and there are no counterparts for those in china. japan is still a rich country. it has had political catastrophes of its own. japan and china, i think there was reason to be more fearful of japan. on the phenomenon of fear itself, i didn't article about two years ago after moving back from china, tr

and the way china thinks says that china wanted economic prosperity in order to continue to develop the country so they could deal with the kind of tensions that are naturally there within the society. >> how does that change that dynamic, the fact that the economic growth rate is dechining programs below eight percent? >> what is really interesting about the current slowdown is that it is coinciding with the period of greater civil unrest in different parts of the country. you didn't see this in early 2009, in early 2009, i was going into factory towns and there were -- and people just left. just crowds of people were gone. this time, you don't see quite that level of flight from the factory towns back to industrial languages, but what you are seeing around the country is a much greater willingness to confront the authorities on, for example, environmental projects that are environmentally sensitive. you are definitely seeing more protests than you have seen in years, the power of pro. >> rose: the power of protests have an impact in beijing? >> it does. mostly, though, the protest

[laughter] it's a reminder of their fortune and upcoming promoti

china. frankly, from china's point of view, the more the west isolates iran, the more iran becomes a gift to china. and now that america has said, okay, you can go ahead and buy oil, china is off the hook. and that's happening because it is impossible for america to impose the same sanctions on chinese banks. they can impose on any other banks in the world. and that's why china can get away with it. so you're presenting china with a geopolitical gift, and china will accept it. >> we're going to take a short break. when we come back, the point about the decline of the west. we will talk about greece, the euro, but also we'll ask, as we always do on international shows in america, enough about the world. what does the world think of us? when we come back.
