It appears he, Plantinga, is making waves in China. Enjoy.

Well, we ought to be hopeful for what this might lead to, but it seems the Chinese are more impressed with Plantinga's anylitics as a philosophical template more than anything else. My suspicious mind thinks this is just a way for them to understand the Western mind better, and not For benevolent purposes, something Sun Tzu would advise. When it comes to Democracy vs Communism gamesmanship, The East practices the long game while The West never leaves the putting green, to our detriment.

Didn't even think about that, nice point.
