Ah yes, with the changes in Chinas economy the last couple of decades I would suspect this. At least the Chinese think tanks are not bent on world domination yet.

Thanks for link anyway.

Wow, hold on a minute here! You mean this is not real? Geez, then I guess the $50K a year they are paying me to consult on military leadership is not real as well? My bank sure seems to think it's real, along with the mortgage company, and my financial manager has not made any comments to suggest it.

I may neither confirm nor deny such allegations. [img]graemlins/beigesmilewinkgrin.gif[/img]

All I am implying is that the likelihood that a Chinese think tank whose covert goal is maximizing Chinese prominence in the world is fairly high. Conspiracy is not new in China, of course.
My favorite conspiracy theory about China is that the old Manchu dynasty bloodline was not lost during the upheavals of the early- to mid-20th century and that one day the line will be restored. [img]graemlins/petard.gif[/img]
