Description

How, if you're the United States, do you deal with a country that sells modern missile technology to rogue states in the Middle East, and which three years earlier massacred hundreds of its own people who were demonstrating for freedom? How, if you're the Republic of China, do you deal with that same country, which wants to place you under its totalitarian regime? A rich discussion of the changes that have--and the changes that haven't--taken place in the People's Republic, and of the best way of nudging Peking in the right direction. JCH: "... at least they probably are no longer proud of themselves being called Communist. In fact many of their economic policies are turning more or less market-oriented. But politically they still maintain a very tight control. I often describe the situation in Mainland China as someone who is driving a car giving you a left-turn signal but actually has turned right."
