Americans are fond of referring to their country as "the greatest nation on earth". Until recently, I didn't believe any country deserved that description. But today I think there is a strong contender for the title.

China is the world's oldest living civilisation. It has recovered from over a century of colonial oppression and lifted its citizens out of poverty. As its growth continues, China is poised to become the world's largest economy and a technology leader that is second to none. By 2030, I believe it will be an indisputable fact that China is the greatest nation on earth.

I need to understand China, from a Chinese perspective. This is my journey.

Help! I Have A Translator Inside My Head

I was passing by my son's music keyboard today and happened to glance at the sheet of music propped up above it.

A moment after I read it, a voice inside my head said, "我是医生, 医生谁 wǒ shì yīshēng, yīshēng shéi" ("I am (the) Doctor, Doctor Who").

I swear. I think I have someone sitting inside my head commenting on everything.
