***********************************************************

It strikes me as a silly oped based on a completely implausible and
impossible premise.  I'm all for blue-skying and thinking outside the box
but this entire idea is ridiculous. It's so far from reality that it's
pointless to think it through. But if one must, then I'd say it reflects a
naïveté that caving into China would strengthen the US.  Historically
those kinds of deals never work.  And since this is a lit-serv one might
also draw on a (western) cultural reference: Dr. Faustus.
