But I think Ted overblamed the U.S. because in true history, it was the French having planting the seeds. I read a similar article by an Chinese writer couple of days ago, but thought his words despite being true proven by various history books will be rebuffed by the western media. Now nice to see someone from the opposite camp express the same view.
