Crib II 

Another favourite crib of mine is finally getting some redressal thanks to Vajpayee's visit to China -- the complete ignorance in the West of the two huge economies of the East that are waking up literally after centuries of slumber. The Economist carried it as a cover story and now Foreign Policy is carrying a story about it as well. Would be interesting to know if there is going to be a sustained interest in the two countries or whether the news will simply revert to Laci Peterson and/or the massive telecoms markets of Luxembourg.
