I can't get very excited about the House of Commons these days because I don't feel the power is there. What is really bizarre is that you sense it is not in Washington either. It is now very hard even to locate the levers of power, let alone to pull them and change things.
If China stood on an equal basis with other nations, she could compete freely with them in the economic field and be able to hold her own without failure.
