KEVIN RUDD has unveiled his vision for Australia to become the most "Asia-literate country" in the West.All these forces washing, rising and unfolding - Rudd's a follower of trends who stands for nothing. He's happy to be washed, unfolded and shaped with whatever force happens to ebb or flow - liberalism or sino-fascism - hey, whatever unfolds, we'll be riding it.
In a speech in Singapore today, the Prime Minister pledged to boost the investment in the study of Asian languages and culture in schools and universities...
"The rise of China in particular represents the great unfolding drama of this new century,” he said.
"Will China democratise? How will China respond to climate change?
"And how will Chinese culture adjust to the array of global influences now washing across its shores directly and through the agency of the greater Chinese diaspora?”
Mr Rudd said how China responded to these forces "would radically shape the future course of our country".
More to the point, how will Australia react to the Chinese influence washing over our country. Sinophobia rising.
