"Globalisation is bringing us all closer together". "The world is becoming smaller, flatter". etc..
Hardly the case when I look at China and the West, at least. While the mainstream Western media is full of hysterical and doomsday headlines about Paulson and the US$700 Billion miracle pill, the Chinese (and puppylike Hong Kong of course) media is only reporting on Shenzhou 7, the Chinese rocket that just launched a few hours ago, to carry 3 Chinese men into orbit around Earth. There are at least two different worlds on Earth, who hardly consider each other at all.
