China Emerging
It's about time that China started acting like the major power it is. Our long-term interests are surprisingly aligned. Both Chnia and the U.S. want freer trade, fewer terrorists, and stability in Greater Asia. The U.S. does not have the gold, people, or interest in monitoring far-off Uzbekistan, Tajikistan and especially North Korea. Those are Asian problems that require Asian solutions, and China is far more apt, able and aware of them. The emergence of China as a diplomatic power is, I believe, in our long-term interests and we should aid and abet the development.
