"I am reluctant to sell China short, not because I think it has no problems or corruption or bubbles, but because I think it has all those problems in spades — and some will blow up along the way (the most dangerous being pollution). But it also has a political class focused on addressing its real problems, as well as a mountain of savings with which to do so (unlike us)."

Read Thomas Friedman's new op-ed this morning in the New York Times that asks the provocative question; [Is China The Next Enron?](http://www.nytimes.com/2010/01/13/opinion/13friedman.html)
