China at Jutland

Of course, China had nothing to do with the Battle of Jutland. As we have all spent a lot of time thinking and reading more than usual about the world in the centenary of WWI, one of the top national security related subjects of today, China, has been left out of the conversation.

That is unfortunate in that to understand China today; how she acts, what her priorities are and the specific way she sees the world, it is important to have an understanding of the nation that a hundred years ago was in the middle of the Warlord Era.

Just to get you thinking, I'll put it out there on a chart. Good charts tell the story of thousands of words.

Ponder.
