      Russia has become more nationalized and the Chinese influence in the east has been somewhat curtailed as Russia is more in need of the resources that were leased out. They haven't been booted out but that's probably coming soon or they will ally with each other which I don't see as being any sort of lasting thing.

      Others correctly pointed out even before the 2008 economic downturn that there was a large but limited demand for oil, not all proposed pipeline projects could be built and refinanced simultaneously. There was massive lobbying and threats of war even back then.

      "in 1945 there are 100 sovereign countries" when even counting occupied Axis nations it's hard to get to 75
      "the Russian Far East population is 6 million" when in the mid 2000's it's closer to 9 million
      "Helionjiang (Harbin) population of 100 million" when it's actually 49 million in 2009 & even if you add Inner Mongolia its still adds up to only 70 million
      " greater than the population of russia" when he just said the population of Russia is 140 million
      "600 thousand Chinese emigrate each year to the Russian Far East". Russian census in late 2000's puts them at 30 000, and even the highest estimates from other sources give a 400 000 - 500 000 of Chinese nationals living in all of the Russian federation in total (that's less than his own fantasy arrivals in one year!)

Of course if any bacteria actually does it then... well... It bloats from incoming water and all the nutrients inside are dissipated. Eventually it will be ripped apart by internal pressure.
      Funny that there are actually a quasi-living organisms that routinely "persuade" bacteria to do just that. They are called viruses. Intra-cellular parasites that want to spread and infect more cells.

He hasn't covered much on trade, but now 'trade' has become a new force & an alternate to war - its war by other means. Gone are the days when people used to think 'Trade' as all peaceful or a vehicle for peace. Trade can trigger wars.

    This is what Evgeny Morozov had to say about Parag Khanna in one of his book reviews published by The New Republic:
    All of these insights are expressed in linguistic constructions of such absurdity and superficiality (“a world of ever-shifting (d)alliances,” “peer-to-peer micromanufacturing marketplace”) that Niall Ferguson’s “Chimerica” looks elegant and illuminating by comparison. Khanna must be a gifted schmoozer, too: the acknowledgments sections of his books are primary documents of contemporary name-dropping.
    Khanna’s contempt for democracy and human rights aside, he is simply an intellectual impostor, emitting such lethal doses of banalities, inanities, and generalizations that his books ought to carry advisory notices.
    Khanna does not really care about the details of policy. He is a manufacturer of abstract, meaningless slogans. He is, indeed, the most talented bullshit artist of his generation.
