> http://fpc.org.uk/:  The former Foreign Editor of Time magazine  [Joshua
> Cooper Ramo] argues that there is a new "Beijing Consensus" emerging with
> distinct attitudes to politics, development and the global balance of
power.
> It is driven by a ruthless willingness to innovate, a strong belief in
> sovereignty and multilateralism, and a desire to accumulate the tools of
> "asymmetric power projection". Its example, following the descrediting of
> the Washington consensus, is fast becoming a model for the developing
world.

> [Ramo]: "....China's peaceful rise strategy is not intended as a challenge
> to the US.
> But what Mr Wen brings to Europe this week is not simply the energy of
> a booming Chinese economy; it is the power of a model for global
> development that is attracting adherents at almost the same speed the
> US model is repelling them. Washington seems barely aware such a
> power shift is under way. It spends too much time evaluating Beijing on
> old-style metrics of GDP or how many aircraft carriers it has. As other
> nations are drawn into China's orbit by its economic power and the
> appeal of Beijing Consensus development, you can probably guess
> which way most of the world may lean."
