Not in Mao but in Confucius we must look for the keys to understanding the Chinese miracle. The combination for victory, the teacher said, es la suma del "deseo de ganar, el deseo de triunfar y la urgencia de alcanzar el máximo de tus posibilidades". The People's Republic of China is in it and no one panics even if the reasons are clear.
First world power since 2014, China has invaded the world in a cautious but unstoppable way. in 1990 produced the 3% of consumer goods. Now around the 30 and it is shocking to think to what level the Chinese is among us: he 90% of computers, he 60 of the shoes, he 80 of the light bulbs, he 60 of cement and 50 of the pork are made in China. The country moves 16,5 of the planetary GDP and in the cash register managed in Beijing they entered last year almost 21.000 billions of dollars, twice as much as in 2010.
The occupation is also ideological. The charismatic Pope Francis, that grants audience at the pace of a racing car, refuses to receive the Dalai Lama. When journalists ask the reason, The Vatican press services give an answer that seems like that of Rajoy's Moncloa: "por razones obvias". The great Catholic leader is doing everything possible to be the first Pope to visit China, where the Tibetan religious leader is accused of separatism.
Neither does the United Nations, for the Chinese veto, have admitted the voice of the Dalai. It is true that Tibet is not a member state, but neither is the Vatican, simple observer, and Francisco, like all his predecessors, will address the General Assembly later this month. Although some human rights organizations have asked the Pope to mention the situation in subjugated Tibet in his speech, there is no chance of it: he cares more about not making China uncomfortable, where 12 Millions of Catholics are being harassed into joining the so-called Chinese Patriotic Catholic Association controlled by the Communist Party., that demolished 1.200 church crosses in 2015. It is discouraging to see how the ostracism encouraged by China against the Dalai, Nobel Peace Prize winner and one of the most loved human beings in the world, is admitted by the rulers of the West - on a recent tour of Europe he was only received by ornamental officials -. But it is also stimulating that a person with good humor as a weapon and compassion as a foundation, unnerves a regime that considers a state secret the number of those sentenced to death for crimes including cowardice or prison escapes. In the last decade they were executed in China, according to independent observers, in between 20 and 40.000 personas (in the rest of the world, 9.000). Another statistical triumph: China is the country with the deadliest laws and justice on Earth.
