China is the elephant in the room of American foreign policy. With its
Chamber of Commerce mentality, the Bush. administration, like the Clinton
administration before it, appears to believe that trade entanglements will
restrain Chinese aggression indefinitely. This policy is helping China
develop an economic engine powerful and sophisticated enough to produce a
military mega-power.

That is inevitable, no matter what we do.

I think the morale is: 'Tis better to trade with the elephant than to get
stomped by him.
