^ lol aw come on, are you any good at that sort of thing?
dope, well I set out to prove that despite the severe political tensions, China and Japan's economies were so interdependent that any political conflict was unlikely. This proved to be difficult since their relations were at their lowest yet this year, and most analysts are extremely pessimistic about the future of the Sino-Japan relationship. However, I used the liberal democratic peace theory to prove that mutually dependant trading nations are less likely to go to war with each other. I looked back at the roots of their trading relationship, how it has evolved, the investment patterns, the relative importance of the country to their respective economies, and how it is all likely to turn out in the future. I also devoted a chapter to China's economic modernisation and how it affected the relationship. I dedicated a chapter to interviews as well.
LD, I plan to spend the next 2 months being a beach-bum, and I'll probably start work in January, will have to go apartment-hunting before that though :(
