This is an old american and british dream, shared by those who
do not understand Chinese culture and history. This was their only
dream left after USSR broke up, it was 911 that woke them up. The
day the chinese provincial governments are independent of the
central government would return china to the days of the warlords,
a big leap backward for China, the beginning of nightmare for Asia
and the rest of the world. 
the american and the brits should stay in Iraq if they have not
learned their lesson.
