In this publication, we offer the articles “Religion: Letter to Sarah” by Julian Loui and “Indian Style” by Calvin Tatsey. We wish  that our minds can stay away from the current financial crisis for a little while.

Here is the website http://news.wenxuecity.com/messages/200810/news-gb2312-726037.html, which documents the story of the respectable Professor Randy Pausch who passed away on July 25, 2008. His courage touched upon us deeply; he wanted us to have enthusiasm about life and said death is not escapable, the most important thing is what we have done between life and death.

In the Photo Section, many thanks go to Huei-Mei Kao again for her collection of Xinjiang sceneries.

After a quiet or busy traveling summer, readers now find time to express their opinions or emotions as follows:

From James Clause

After reading Ravindra Kumar’s article The Current Black Sea Imbroglio: A Challenge to World Peace’ I have read now another interesting article Selling America and the Rest of the World Short, by Michael Levy. Both are interesting and worth giving a thought. Impartial and neutral people as such are the real peace-makers of the day.

I congratulate you for staring such a good and humane work.

From the Editor

Thank you very much for your interest and support.

Peace.  May it prevail upon the Earth.

From Prof. Dr. Paitoon Patyaiying, Thailand

I read the article by Dr. Ravindra Kumar an eminent scholar and writer from India on your China-US site on Black Sea with great interest. Indeed this article is very informative and worthy. It reflects scholar's understanding and shows role and importance of China and India in the international affairs.

Congratulations! I look forward to read many of such kinds of articles on your site by Dr. Ravindra Kumar, a respectable person of south and southeast Asia.

When I can expect Dr. Kumar's next article on your site?

With appreciation.

From the Editor

Thank you very much for your comment and interest.

I try to cover major issues that concern the China-U.S. relations. I would be happy to invite Dr. Kumar's participation in the future when topics of crucial importance come up again.

His original email is in Chinese. We translated it into English as follows:

Responding to an article on www.ChinaUSFriendship.com:

Although my English needs to be strengthened, through the Chinese-translated version, I understand most of the contents and statements of your website. I have sorted my comments under the title: “Trend of the Future Economic Revolution – A Prediction”. 

The financial crisis of American International Group (AIG) triggered by the bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. in the U.S. once again proves that human greed is unlimited. I do not agree with the 700 billion U.S. dollar rescue plan of the Bush government. While the corporate legal officers live an attractive and lavish life by exploiting the individual investors and while they extort by trick, have they ever thought about the possibility of karma falling upon them? The cause of the entire problem and another important factor, apart from greed, is over-optimism towards the future: the economic slump after the 9/11 event in 2001 was followed by expectations of prosperity on the strong consuming power of the 1.3 billion Chinese population in their preparation for the 2004 – 2008 Beijing Olympic Games. But at the time when I wrote the article “The Start of Heaven Sword and Dragon Sabre” (08/20/2008), I did not expect that the first dragon slain would be the American Empire. On the other hand, a few days later the incident of the tainted milk-powder in the mainland of China also compelled the whole world to reject the mainland’s contaminated products and exposed the nature of the Chinese communists. Following the end of the Beijing Olympic Games, all the global raw materials prices hit historical highs and then quickly fell to make corrections. The date (07/11/2008) when crude oil hit 147 U.S. dollar per barrel was right after I finished writing the article “The Realization of the Old Testament Prophesy”. Originally I did not want to write my article “Trend of the Future Economic Revolution – A Prediction”. But since I received your email, I am happy to share my thoughts on future economic trends and visions.  

God has been fair in creating the world: East Asia’s asset is agricultural products, the Middle East’s is oil, Europe’s is flowers, America’s is high-tech, and Africa’s is gold and diamond. The poorer the place is, the richer the natural minerals it has.  The world economy should have been shared by and distributed to all the mankind for co-prosperity and mutual help. This is why I say that human greed starts here. It was only going to be a matter of time for America’s serious financial deficit to lead to the country’s economic breakdown.  The present Iceland will soon become the first domino. A country could only print its world-circulated currency in an amount equivalent to its gold reserves and people find that, during this economic commodity price crisis, the price of gold still remains at a high level without falling. It is true that all of mankind at present and in the future acknowledges the “Gold Coin” Standard System, not the American dollar nor the Renminbi (After this serious financial crisis in the U.S., is it not strange to still let the American dollar be a strong currency? It is the result of artificial human manipulation behind the scenes). It is likely that the world currencies under the present American dollar accounting mechanism will eventually show their strengths and weaknesses to reflect their true values. Whichever nation owns more gold will become the stronger country. According to the Old Testament, King David made one of his sons Solomon the King of Israel: that Israel reached its historical height can be served as a proof. The most important value of gold is it shows attributes of God:   it never changes, never decays, can be tested by fire and lasts forever.

Many years ago, I heard about people who had experienced life in paradise and said that in paradise one can easily get gold pieces or gold bullion by hand. It really is true. The new thinking resulting from the collapse of the American government is that the necessity of having a world-wide unified government becomes more important. This world-wide unified government will own all the gold of mankind and then issue gold coins to circulate through the entire world and implement the core value of the God’s kingdom:  the arrival of God’s country of axiom*,  justice**, truth*** and peace****.
