The Nearly Man. Man On The Moon

is the R.E.M song like no other, taken from the album Automatic for the people. 

I have zero doubt in my mind its should be Automatic for the People in the mainland  and all over the world that China's economic might today is because Deng Xiaoping did what was right for his people.

Believe it or not, for the last 500 years, there was only two contenders in the ring, competing to be the champion of the world READFrom 1500 to 1820, China mostly had the largest and strongest GDP.

All that came to a halt in what the Chinese call READ ;OUR Century of Humiliation. All, that changed when Deng Xiaoping by choice opted for collective reasoning, a free economy , where the people actually enjoy the fruits of their labor (Tengku Zafrul, the people are not bothered about rosy Moody's  report READ : Moody’s A3 credit rating testament to govt’s leadership: Tengku Zafrul)

But through out the 500 years, China has always been the  NEARLY MAN, always there but not there as the main dog, the top dog in town.

Xi Jinping has been a good leader up to a point, and many not only in China but throughout Asia has placed their hopes on this man, that we could finally tell the white man to go fly kites.

Xi is a known admirer of Mao Zedong, who unified China, but begin to believe in his own legend, allowed no desent, resulting the country making technology advancement but most of the people poor, and fearful of being economically adventures.

Xi who put READ : A man on the moon

Moses went walking with the staff of wood
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Newton got beaned by the apple good
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Egypt was troubled by the horrible asp
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Mister Charles Darwin had the gall to ask
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

If you believed they put a man on the moon
Man on the moon
If you believe there's nothing up his sleeve
Then nothing is cool

could well be the main who ensures that once again supremeness escapes China and this nation which carries the Asia flag for world economic domination  might remain the The NEARLY MAN as Xi challenges the wisdom of the father of modern economics as we know it.
