Long Term Thinking
The Chinese leaders have a different mind set than most western leaders; they are actively planning for their future by securing strategic resources now while the west is stuck in a short term view of the future. China is buying up as much uranium and thorium as they can so that the 100 or so new nuclear reactors will have enough fuel to use during their expected lifetime.
Mean while, in the west we are more worried about gas prices today and not looking at a future where valuable resources will not be availble. We need long term goals and focus on making those goals happen like the Chinese are doing now.
