China is not an easy country to rule: it is experiencing rapid
growth and with it rapid social change. Resources and religion are
two of the most difficult of its challenges, and their combination
with ethnicity is not unique to China. It may well be one of the
major underlying currents of the 21st century and is present
throughout Asia-with the Baloch of Pakistan, the Kurds of Iraq and
Turkey, and the Timorese of the former island of East Timor in
Indonesia, now Timor-Lest. In all these nations, as in China,
ethnic identity, often united with religious differences, is driven
by the presence of valuable resources to create a nationalism with
economic underpinnings. However, as Van Wie Davis shows, with China
the outcome is vital, as how it copes with the pressures for good
governance with the Asian economic model, treats its ethnic
minorities under scrutiny, and gathers resources to fuel its
dynamic economy impacts us all.
