. -- let's get in touch with the chinese. let me follow up on what dick has said. there is also the domestic scene that nixon inherited. troops in vietnam, no contact with 1/5 of the world's people and a home, you had riots and people being disillusioned with executive power and particularly the vietnam war. so the first impulse, the most brought impulse of nixon going to china was to show the world and the america people that we will not bogged down in vietnam, that our diplomacy could force despite incredible contests that he had inherited and break out of the mall -- the mold. as a corollary of that, to live the spirits of the american people over many years. he knew that any exit from vietnam would be messy and ambiguous. he thought if he opened with china, this huge country, the drama and the importance of dealing with that giant who put in perspective the rather messy exit from vietnam. the more specifically, number one, he wanted to improve relations with the soviet union. the best way to do that was to get their atten

the wealthiest chinese left the country, along with some $40 billion to $100 billion of ethnic chinese-controlled capital, plunging the country into a crisis from which it has not recovered. so in countries with a market-dominant minority -- and indonesia is just one of many examples -- markets and democracy benefit not just different people or different classes but actually different ethnic groups. markets make the resented minority richer and richer, while democracy increases the political power of the poor, frustrated, indigenous majority. and the result is almost invariably tremendous instability and very often violence. c-span: define the term "indigenous." >> guest: well, i tend to put "indigenous" in quotes because it`s a perception. i mean, there is, for example, the -- indigenous indonesians are the pribumi majority, who felt that they were there first and that the ethnic chinese are outsiders or invaders. now, i put "indigenous" in quotes because many of the indonesian chinese have lived there for four generations. the same with zimbabwe. i mean, the indigenous black majority is indigen

"bumiputera," or "malays first," is at the heart of this policy. itlaces controls on education and employment and extends across the entire range of social relations. after the race riots in the '60s, the government decided that they had to break that identification. they had to bring malays into the city, into the growing manufacturing into the future of the country and build one malaysia that way, that if they just left them as the poor farmers out in the countryside it was going to be nothing but trouble. and so their policies made malay the national language. they saved the university positions for the malays; they made the schools in malay; they put all the... the banking was for malay. companies had to be malay, and then they might hire chinese subcontractors to do the actual printing. but the printing/publishing companies had to be malay. and so the c

i'm not an expert on the chinese military budget. when you make the general correction you are raising china's gdp by 70% as the current estimate. one initial thought is take that and raise that by 70%. it would of course be the same share of gdp, right? but it would be 70% higher. i think in terms of thinking about the soldiers that probably make sense if you did hire an equivalent soldier in china it it makes sense to do that price comparison. so i don't know how much of the chinese military budget goes to equipment versus pay for soldiers. basically the price of an equivalent in quality peace of weaponry may be similar. so you know probably the answer is you wouldn't want to make the full 70% adjustment, but in thinking in real terms, you would want to make some adjustment. >> if i could speak to michael's question, my response would billion that this is not a new problem, it's a version of an old problem. because we have had to reassure our allies about our resolve ever since those alliances were created. we have had to worry abo
