The current U.S. tour started out as a box-office bomb; in a crowded Augusta, Ga., during the week of the Masters Golf Tournament, only a handful of spectators turned out.

But with its well-publicized drought ("for 40 days it was possible to drive a car along the bed of the Yellow River," said Chinese Ambassador to Poland Wang Ping-nan recently), Peking was unable to deliver its part of the bargain.
