My uncle was in grade school in 1933 and his teacher asked the students to clip out important articles from the newspaper and bring them in for discussion.  When he presented his article, the teacher told him he should bring in something more important.  What he had clipped out was a small article, not on the front page, whose headline was "Hitler Elected Chancellor of Germany." 

We ignore things that turn out to be extremely important.  What's happening in China could be one of those things.  Far more important than any culture wars.
