Peaceful transitions among ascending and descending world powers have occured in human history. The Greeks to the Romans...the British Empire to the United States post-WWII. Both of these examples involved a common cultural bond. Mastering each others languages is an important step in creating these same bonds between the U.S. and China.

I wonder though, are there influential voices in China warning and preparing the Chinese citizenry for inevitable conflict with the United States and how can we defuse this challenge?
