The Last Thing China Needs is a Foreign-Born Obstacle

During a recent delegation I took to Beijing, a Chinese scholar told me that this pact is so tenuous that even the relatively successful Beijing Olympics calls into question how the government is spending its money; he suggested that rival political factions could challenge the current leadership.  Meanwhile, China’s government is overwhelmed with domestic fires it put stamp out: the tainted milk scandal, polluted waterways, smoggy air, and related public health problems. The last thing China needs is a foreign-born obstacle, much less contending with the strongest military in history, America’s.
