Here are some developmental traits of a 4-5 year old as determined by good ol' child psychology:
' a dynamo of energy, drive, bossiness, belligerence, and generally out-of-bounds behavior'.
Sound like the state of China ?
Here are the traits of a young adult:
'Late adolescents finally come quite close to adulthood to have a firm identity and more stable interests. Soon-to-be-adults and already adult kids attain greater emotional stability finally and have a more developed sense of humor. They are able to keep a little patience when there is a delay in gratification of their desires, and are able to think ideas through. They learn to express their feelings in words, compromise and make independent decisions. Unlike the earlier stages of childhood, late adolescents show greater concern for others. They become more self-reliant and take pride in their work. They start finalizing their thoughts about the role they want to play in their lives and become more concerned about their future'.
Sounds a bit more like the West to me. Almost adult, but not quite -- I think the majority of Western countries probably fall under a slightly earlier adolescent age grouping.
You'll see, here I make no remarks about China or other countries except to point out lessons from the developmental stages of childhood found through the work of many, many child psychologists.
5,000 years old. That is the non-negotiable age of this baby.

Hehehe. Yes, "the half" is very important to a "5,000" year old! Always looking forward to the next birthday!
I think this child is a strange one, more akin to a born again type.
Yes at times 'it' acts like a 5 year old, but we all know it's ancient and has some seriously deep thoughts and perceptions on how to live a fruitful live, (even if on occasion it then ignores those perceptions!
Perhaps it is a reincarnation and Buddha was right!
Damn, there goes my secular humanist nomination for sainthood!

fast forward 2017 (for points). Answer: adolescents. Muscles are being flexed. The CPC still is finding its way around the outside world as it becomes stronger. Just like a 13 year old boy. Egypt, Iran, Syria, Isreal, and even Italy are very old nations. How their attitude develops will determine how well they live.
