Joke of the day - China edition


I heard this the other day. I really like it.

1949 - Only socialism can save China
1979 - Only capitalism can save China
1989 - Only China can save socialism
2009 - Only China can save capitalism

History repeats itself: first as tragedy, second as farce.

Absolutely loved this. It also points to something quite significant, namely the ability of China to turn its national narrative upside down without any of the usual social effects of such radical discontinuity. So far, anyway.
