Basically a good analysis. I would add a few of things that I think he misses: 1. The analysis of the EZ as a failed currency union that is increasingly unsustainable and will implode when the next crisis hits. 2. The objective of the US to dominate the Chinese domestic market with US finance and industry by preventing the rise of Chinese-developed and owned high-services and technology through intellectual property that denies China access to developing its own domestic firms capable of competing with the Western firms that an open-door policy is intended to force. However, the Chinese already experienced something similar in the colonial period and unlikely to fall into that trap. 3.
