Jiang played his WTO hand brilliantly, waiting for U.S. President Bill Clinton to call him--twice--before putting his weight behind the deal. Says Hong Kong-based Fred Hu, Goldman Sachs' chief China watcher: "That's called the Emperor mentality--you kowtow to me first...
Trade negotiations? Oh, please--wake us when it's over. Tariffs. Subsidies. Antidumping measures. Multilateral investment agreements. The eyes glaze over.
